I wonder what this means for those of us who are casual weightlifters. Our protein intake is much higher than 0.7g per kg, and in fact most come in around double that value.
The benefits of being at one's peak strength are innumerable, but a fourfold increase in cancer risk is startling.
I assume a healthy balance would be to obtain a greater percentage of our intake from vegetable sources. But most of us are wired by evolution to enjoy the taste of animal protein much more than other sources.
Perhaps a foray into endurance sports is in order.

Put garlic in your meat. Put garlic in your ice cream. Take garlic pills. And eat blueberries and broccoli if you're worried about cancer. Garlic is nature's formaldehyde.

- keyhole_downs 13y agoDamn right it is. My doctor has always told me a daily serving of meat is about the size of a deck of playing cards. Shrimp help's me maximize the flavor and fat in that serving. That's about how much shrimp I mix into my giant bowl full of veggies and it fills me up and tastes delicious.
