@brucehutch5419 yah, well he spoke about his own study, haha, but I'd bet anything it was not RCT - not even close - (and a tiny cohort, to boot) Nor...published anywhere, for that matter. Glad to see there are some science-leaning critical thinkers here. Very disappointing that so many just take him at his word, simply bc he has a Ph.D.

@MajesticArtimus 👍 could not agree more with the facts you've pointed out here. Thank goodness....at least ONE voice of reason here in comments. ...and YES to Dr. Donald Laymen, PH.d as being THE protein expert to follow. No discussion whatsoever in this podcast... of Leucine's importance in the mTOR pathway for optimal muscle protein synthesis - this, in my opinion - is a big red flag. Unfortunately, the non-critical thinkers here will be impressed this guy holds a PhD, and take what he had to say here as Gospel. 😒 .

@k8eekatt nope...wrong about so much you mention here - not factual at all. That's MY opinion. And, when you are voicing your opinion (however misguided), we'd all appreciate a well-appointed, 'in my opinion', or 2, sprinkled in amongst your so-called 'facts'.

@stevelanghorn1407 Yah, if nothing else, this protein discussion by a 'foremost nutrition expert' (whom I've never heard of btw🤔) had simply added to the looming presence of confusion over dietary protein needs. ...nothing more, unfortunately.
2
@Mr.BobsDog ah! No I did not know that. Only suspected there was a vegan agenda here somewhere but just about everything he had to say about protein, lol. Thanks for confirming my suspicions. What he had to say about protein was so effed'up (imo) I knew there had to be a hidden agenda in there somewhere 👀

@hauntyoo Layne Norton, Phd has studied amino acids extensively- for his thesis, I believe. AND...studied under Dr. Donald Layman, Phd, IIRC. I'd take the scientific facts about what Dr. Norton has yo say about protein ANY DAY over this 'nutrition expert.' Imo, you are on the right track w/Dr. Norton.

@lorenbeaulieu2896 Ah! Another critical thinker here. YES! So far, those here who tend to believe everything they read, hear - especially coming from a PhD - far outweigh the critical thinkers here who are actually THINKING about what's being said. But, I DO feel like celebrating 🍾 🎉 every time I read a well-thought-out comment such as yours.👍
2
@elleh3495 appears that you have a misunderstanding of Layne Norton's verbiage, and the ultimate meaning behind his statements (IMO).
2
@susydyson1750 ah, sure...just take this 'nutritionist' at his word and disregard any agenda he & ZOE may have in presenting this quite biased material.
2
@joshvarghes yes, THANKS for quoting the science!...says alot about your critical thinking skills (as a positive)👍 for this discussion.
2
@AnnBertholf no, it IS NOT. What science has this guy quoted here? None, other than his lame (imo) tiny cohort 'study' that got published nowhere and (I would bet) was not a proper RCT.
2
@WackyJackyTracky leucine (not lysine, particularly) . But the BCAA's, leucine (especially) plus Isoleucine, & valine, as triggers for mTOR ...the pathway in the body that promotes muscle protein synthesis. Seeing as how Leucine and muscle protein synthesis was left OUT of this discussion...waved a big red flag for me...that somewhere in here, however nuanced, lies a very definite vegan agenda. That... & the fact that this guy wants us to believe, apparently, that 'protein is protein', no matter if it comes from a candy bar, a slab of steak, or kale. So simplistic, it's laughable🤣
2
@XpulseLOL yep...Agree! Howevrr, those here who are salivating over Dr. Gardner's low protein numbers aren't taking into account - what's being unspoken here - these min. requirements are for the purpose of surviving, not thriving.
2
@BevG_CT yah, well - those you mention are as misguided as this 'nutrition expert.' (my opinion) ( Dr. Gundry would have us be drinking a litre of EVOO every week.. AND, of course, only the EVOO he is selling is the 'right' one, lol

@rambleon2011 means absolutely nothing... Vegans just love to state this about plant eating animals, whose nutritional needs are very different from humans. But, oh well... if that is somehow a bias confirming 'fact' for you - go ahead🥴
1
@lilnibba2905 No, of course he's not gonna ask that here...would spoil the obvious agenda😕 Seems that he either believes, or wants us to believe that 'protein is protein' no matter its source. NO dufderence in how it acts in the body, whatsoever... (not true, imo, btw) Unfortunately, ZOE is not asking the critical HARD questions here...that we should expect from ANY interviewer worth their salt. smh🙄

No mention whatsoever about reaching a meal's leucine level to trigger mTOR pathway in order to optimize muscle protein synthesize. But, taking this protein discussion's skewed agenda under consideration, I'm not at all surprised that Leuceine has been completely left out of this discussion. Imo, all these 2 have done here is to confuse & complicate the protein discussion even more. smh🙄
