Low protein diet 'equals longevity'
- Terribledactyl 10y agoThis report is a little lacking, here is a PDF of the study http://media.nzherald.co.nz/webcontent/document/pdf/201640/CMET2149_proof.pdf http://media.nzherald.co.nz/webcontent/document/pdf/201640/C... from the nz herald. And their take on it http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11719524 http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objecti...
- DrScump 10y ago(Regarding Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21)) key quote: " the metabolic outcomes associated with elevated FGF21 depend on the nutritional context, differing according to whether the animal is in a state of under- or overfeeding." The news article badly misinterprets the results in implying that low protein alone = high FGF21 = longevity.
- brador 10y agoIn that case, what's the correct take away from the study? fasting + low protein + high nutrient diet is best?
- vcmlyxgcmc 10y agocan we get away from the idea that a single kind of diet is always best ? Sometimes one needs protein (e.g. after intense physical exercise), sometimes fat (in the winter maybe), sometimes carbs (long cycle ride), usually veggies. Eat as appropriate.
