A major scientific review is challenging the idea that more protein is always better.

The review, led by pathologist and biomedical researcher Dudley Lamming and published in the journal Cell Press Blue, examined more than 350 studies involving humans, mice, insects, yeast, and other organisms.

The review found that eating less protein, or less of certain amino acids that make up protein, may turn on body processes linked to healthier aging, as well as metabolism, the process by which the body turns food and drinks into energy.

Antipeptide is so odd to me, yall just hate it because the lookmaxer crowd coopted it, they are good overall

I don't necessarily care what movement coopted it, I care that it's become a favorite of health grifters. What may be legitimate is completely overshadowed by quickly churned out low effort crap, just like supplements. I care that as an American, completely unregulated substances that may or may not actually be peptides have become the official government stance at the expense of funding literally any form of healthcare.

I'm talking about regulated prescribed petptides, they have been getting approved, it isn't 10 years ago, and they weren't new then, had successful trials for years

Tell that to Bryan Johnson. His peptide cocktail gave him an autoimmune disease that will kill him.

Biochemist here, peptides are 99% dangerous bullshit.

And I'm talking about how legitimate peptides are now becoming overshadowed by the grift economy.
