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.
