mTOR, Protein & Cancer: Clarifying Confusion with New Science from MIT’s David Sabatini

Folks love to say eating protein is problematic for it raises mTOR, since mTOR is involved in cancer and other inflammatory diseases–we should avoid protein.

But is that really scientifically accurate?

We review a new review paper by MIT's David Sabatini, known as the mTORman.
