ImpactModerate impact

The discussions suggest the publication influences opinions about high-protein diets, though the overall impact appears to be more informational than transformative.

Abstract in brief

  • High-protein diets are popular because they may help with appetite control, energy intake, body weight, and body composition, leading some to question if current protein guidelines are too low.
  • Despite concerns about potential harms from high-protein diets expressed over the past 60 years, many of these fears lack strong scientific evidence and are often contradicted by existing research.
  • The paper reviews various claimed risks, examines the strength of scientific evidence, and discusses the need for further research to accurately determine the safety and potential dangers of high protein intake.]
