Great video! Thanks!
At time marker 3.43, referring to table 1; Dr Gregor said human breast milk has less than 1% protein by weight instead of 8.5 +/- 0.9
Well. This video is a big fiasco, and a lot of bullshit.
Is it fair to say the dispassionate objectivity of Dr. Gregor is a myth? Asking for a friend.
Also, is the protein requirement of an infant exactly the same, proportionally by weight, as that if a grown human? That’s an assumption that may require further examination.
1 cup of pinto beans contains 41 grams of protein……………. Just putting this comment here for those wondering how someone eating plant based gets protein. Plants contain protein and some of them contain it in abundance.
Most of infant growth is NOT muscle, therefore protein levels don't need to be high. As you get bigger, you need to put on more muscle. As an adult, you have a much higher body percent of muscle. It is disingenuous to extrapolate adult protein needs from infant protein needs.
do the problems of excess protein only apply to animal protein or also plant protein
Thank god for Dr. Greger
Protein is back in style again and this time it's on steroids !
Everything has gobs of protein now. Atlas Coffee – now with 16g of protein per cup !
Granny's Maple Yogurt – now w 16g protein ! Warlborough cigarettes – now w 16g protein per stick !
We may see an uptick in Kidney disease shortly.
And yet, our medical textbook still states that it is due to protein deficiency. I feel sorry for the patients that had to be unnecessarily treated for this
Excellent thank you
thank you very much, very important considerations about protein
Yes, 0.8g protein/kg body weight. That’s what the field of nutrition and dietetics uses as the protein needs of the average, healthy adult. I’m so confused why you are choosing to throw the field of nutrition/Dietetics under the bus when we are ones performing and advocating for the exact research you use to argue your point. The only ones advocating for higher protein needs for healthy adults are NOT real nutrition professionals, but are those in the fitness industry and those with other biases. Please do not lump the entire field of dietetics, which emphasizes evidence-based practice, in with those that promote fad diets like paleo or Keto. We already have enough difficulty getting taken seriously. Thank you.
Protein saatiates hunga 2 keep OMAD preventing cravangs
Great info. If protein blood levels are normal but ferratin is struggling, what is the recommended approach for plant-based diets?
When they're making the argument that protein increased the brain's size. I laugh and I laugh hard. Yeah inflammation can make an organ larger.
Thank you
That's still 70-90 g of protein per day for the average adult male. I'm an advocate in WFPB diets, but I wonder how many beans, grains, nuts, etc. you have to eat per day to reach that level of protein intake….
Current studies support 50 grams of protein for a 150 lb person for nitrogen balance, but at least 75 grams of protein to keep glutathione levels high!
This video misquotes the work of J. C. Waterlow, stating "there is no real evidence of dietary protein deficiency" when a simple reading of the abstract will show that he was merely restating some of the criticism out there, that he goes on to disagree with. The full quote is, "This theory has been contested from several points of view: that hypoalbuminaemia is not the major factor determining the presence of oedema, and that there is no real evidence of dietary protein deficiency. The resolution of this question is of some importance from the point of view of public health diagnosis and prevention." A couple lines later in the abstract, he contends that the classical theory of protein deficiency in Kwashiorkor is essentially correct.
I mean, you can read the abstract below for yourself https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6485050/
Do growing children benefit from animal proteins?
Breast milk is the perfect food for growing babies, as babies began to crawl and then walk they develop more muscle and progress to a different diet with higher protein. Breast milk is not the ideal food for all age groups and stages of life and health of humans.
Please do a video on the negative affect of cruciferous goitrogens and soy on thyroid function, cascading to auto-immune issues, leading to cancer. Thank you.
YOUR WRONG, WE NEED 4 CHEESE BURGERS PER DAY
.
Why babies don't need as much protein as kids and adults is a separate question. That doesn't disprove that every other age group does require a sufficient and higher percentage of protein. Also, he mentions 0.8 – 0.9 per Kg that amount is specifically for sedentary adults, not for active adults who work out. For active adults it is actually much higher in the 1.8 – 2.2 range . Do your homework.
Thank you.
@5:07 long term high protein consumption…. Animal protein or plant protein?
Great info! Not millions of years, but rather an amazing design of GOD, Himself.
Four years later and the Wikipedia article on Kwashiorkor is still wrong. In the talk page there are tons of references explaining that it's not caused by protein deficiency but no one bothered to rewrite the article.
Thanks doc. But who knows if we'll have our country and another two months.?
