Could the incorporation of more protein into the American diet improve overall health?
Recommendation
How much protein should you have in your diet? Colorado State University professor emeritus Loren Cordain offers persuasive arguments in favor of a higher percentage protein diet than is common in the United States today, but which is in keeping with the quantity enjoyed by humankind’s ancient ancestors. Cordain uses evolutionary science, anthropological and ethnographic evidence, as well as modern human health studies, to support his claims. While never providing health advice, getAbstract recommends this three-part article to nutritionists and everyone interested in health science.
