While you may not have concluded that. It would seem that the authors of the study you, yourself linked. Have. And the authors of the study I linked have as well.
Yes, MPS is the goal here. That's mainly what you want Protein for.
I just find it hard to believe you would read a study that disproves your claim, and then link it as some kind of "gotcha-moment". It doesn't support your argument. It does the exact opposite. So, the logical conclusion of why someone would do that. Is that they did not read it. But if you did read it, and understood that it does in fact not support your argument. Feel free to indulge me in why you would link it.
If you take offense to being told that I don't think you read the study you linked since it literally disproves your own argument. Then so be it. And I don't know what else to say about the guy who doesn't think human beings can survive and thrive on a non meat diet. We're talking elementary school level of education that is desperately lacking. Now that is slightly insulting. To the parents and teachers who failed him.
Perhaps it is my illiterate nature, but I would say they made the more nuanced and validated statement "the current literature we cannot map a direct MPS benefit for greater consumption in 20 something men doing body building."
That is a very limited context, which the authors are very careful about speaking to its limited implications in overall health and health goals.
It doesn't, the paper has depth and nuance and a careful review of it makes it clear the simplistic sound bite take away is too simplistic, which was my entire point, and still is my entire point.
I didn't say this.
Yet another insult.
This all started, with the person you're so valiantly defending, saying that the human body is physically harmed by not eating meat. It further developed into you defending his claim that a vegan would have to eat literally buckets, full of vegetables to get enough protein for sustained health.
What both of the studies show, is that is simply not even remotely true.
You can eat as much protein as you want. But it's not going to make you regenerate muscle tissue any faster, just because you eat 5x the daily recommendation.
The studies are literally proving my point that you can absolutely thrive on a vegan diet, and get more than enough protein per meal to sustain, and develop your body.
I didnt' say, YOU said it.
You can think that's insulting. But that is literally, what is going on. We learn in elementary school about nutrition and various sources. That we need vitamins, minerals, glucose and protein. We learn that meat is a good source of protein. we also learn that there are many vegetables and cereals (grains) that are good sources of protein.
So yes. I would call that elementary school level of knowledge. If you posses it. I'm not talking about you.
