There has been a fair amount of buzz recently concerning the results of a particular study linking high protein diets with increased risk of mortality from diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. The tag line in the news has been high protein diets as dangerous as smoking. Several clients have brought these reports up to us. As the linked article by an MD explains, the study had little control of the variables of the participants, so it is very difficult to draw definitive conclusions from it. As we firmly believe in the value of a balanced diet of nutrient-dense foods, we find her advice on balancing animal proteins with an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables to be very important. Note also that the chief culprits mentioned, insulin and IGF-1, are also raised by high carb diets. Were thinking a little common sense is in order here.
