I don’t think it’s sensible to make assertions either way. It will be interesting to monitor the cancer rates among people who fill themselves up on protein powder drinks though, won’t it? As if anything we eat is truly natural…

Seems to me there is a new “breakthrough” cancer study made each day. Protein is a staple part of our natural diet, and even more important for gym goers and bodybuilders. I can’t imagine that eating lots of protein from natural, healthy sources can increase the chances of cancer

It’s a fact that human breast milk is considerably lower in protein by say, a factor of almost three than cow’s milk which is considerably lower than rat’s milk by say a factor of about ten. Pythagorus would not eat beans but was it their high protein content or just the way he felt after eating a lot of plant protein. nor would Newton or Einstein, presumably because they had read of Pythagorus’ aversion to beans. Human breast milk contains less than one per cent protein, the Meditterranian diet has 20-30% protein at it’s core. Other than the fact that we like to hunt, our stupidity makes us most adorable at supplying extinction to those we don’t like the taste of…. we’re eating a rat’s diet – everything and anything, while our genetic makeup says otherwise.

I agree with Andrew, Too many variables to conisider what “too” much really is. Too much of anything is bad for you in general. Mice arent people, but give a rather simple perspective on theory.

People just don’t eat any xxx after the news ‘Too much xxx increase the risk of …’ because they don’t know how much is ‘too much’ and don’t want any ‘risk’ either. Death rates of mice fail to give any clear answer.

You’re right…I posted this because it just seem to be yet another piece of research like the sugar findings that blurs the rights and wrongs of diet and nutrition again and again.
