The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

And some of my go-to protein sources are chicken gizzards, fantastic protein to calorie ratio, and I love them.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

A lot of people look at that and go, no.

#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

We need to figure out the way to get people to do this, but it's the food that matters, not this.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

Now, if we go back to those idea of wanting to understand the food, the effects of the food, then I think working with ultra-processed food is just silly.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

I think it's not a meaningful category.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

I think any attempts to say, let's find the right definition, I wouldn't even bother.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

I don't even think it's worth even discussing.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

I would say is let's talk about the substances in the food.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

What is the effect of eating dried apples?

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

Or what is the effect of eating things with this composition?

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

Or what is the effect of eating bottled wine or dried dates or grilled chicken gizzards?

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

I'll go 10%, some percent of the way with you on that.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

I would say it's a very suboptimal tool.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

There are probably better tools.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

There certainly could be better tools.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

I don't think it would be very effective, and I don't think it would be effective for the long term.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

Either one, I think at the heuristic level, and what I mean by that, again, is nothing to do with causation or really understanding the foods.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

If you said, give me a rule, and it's different for you.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

You're very sophisticated.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 โ€’ The protein debate: optimal intake, limitations of the RDA, whether high-protein intake is harmful, and how to think about processed foods | David Allison, Ph.D.

You have a lot of knowledge.
