The Cultural Bias Towards Animal Protein

In this enlightening segment, Brenda Davis, R.D., debunks the misconceptions surrounding plant-based diets and protein intake. She comprehensively discusses the adequate levels of protein one can obtain from a plant-based diet, disproving theories from books such as "The Plant Paradox" by Grundy. Davis emphasizes that even the largest mammals sustain their massive muscle mass with vegetarian diets, and humans can achieve their protein requirements similarly. She also delineates the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for various age groups, including special considerations for those on plant-based diets, pregnant and lactating women, children, and athletes. Tune in to explore the scientifically-backed truths about plant-based diets and protein assimilation. #PlantBasedDiet #ProteinMyths #NutritionInsights
