Research Mentioned:
Episode Time Stamps:
00:00 – New NHANES study: animal protein does not increase risk of all-cause mortality, heart disease, or cancer.
00:59 – Why this matters: epidemiology, causality, and confounding variables explained.
02:09 – Results overview: no link between animal protein, plant protein, and mortality risk; lower cancer mortality with higher animal protein intake.
03:06 – Key finding: ~20% lower cancer mortality in higher animal protein consumers.
04:01 – Creatine spotlight: why creatine in animal protein matters for brain, heart, and muscle health.
04:44 – Why German-made creatine > Chinese creatine: purity, safety, and synthesis explained.
05:41 – Creatine supplementation tips: benefits, sourcing, and usage.
06:35 – Proposed mechanism: debunking the IGF-1 and animal protein cancer link.
07:36 – Table analysis: hazard ratios show no increased mortality; inverse link with cancer risk.
08:44 – Study conclusions: animal protein slightly protective, plant protein not associated, IGF-1 irrelevant.
09:45 – Final takeaway: eating animal protein—including steak—is safe; humans have always been omnivores.
