    Saw this on my Facebook page:

    No link to the actual study, but apparently we're all going to die of cancer from eating animal protein.

    The researchers defined a "high-protein" diet as deriving at least 20 percent of daily calories from protein, a "moderate" protein diet as deriving 10 to 19 percent of calories from protein, and a "low-protein" diet as less than 10 percent of calories from protein.
    I'd be very interested to see how this was measured, as this study was 18 years long. Did everyone keep a fastidious food journal for 18 years? What if in year 3 I followed a Paleo diet and in year 7 I switched to a vegetarian diet?

    Just another example of why everyone is so fucking confused.

    If you keep posting links to stupid shit in Scientific American, you'll be very busy for quite some time. They haven't been a serious science tabloid in decades.

    The data comes from NHANES III. You can examine the methodology yourself here:
