Yeah, I think, you know, usually if I see a paper and the conclusion, like, just straight up, I go, oh, I don't know about that. When I go in and I read the methods and I read how they analyzed it and I read how they measured things, 99% of the time I walk away and go, okay, I'm not surprised they found what they found, right? Because, again...

A lot of, and this does happen and it shouldn't, but a lot of studies are set up to kind of find what people want to find. You can bias things in a certain way.

And you have to say what you're going to measure.

But I will say like there's very rarely do I say this was a bad study. Often what I'll say is, you know, I don't agree with their conclusion based on their data and their design, but the data is the data, you know. I was just very fortunate, again, to my PhD advisor. I have so much gratitude because he just right away was like, hey, if we're wrong about something, that's fine, you know.

And I'll give you an example of how results can seem to conflict, but, you know, how things are designed. We actually wanted to test, does protein quality make a difference? And we wanted to look at it at like, not low, but like just kind of like RDA levels of protein. And we saw that protein quality did make a difference at those levels of protein.

But if you look at experiments where people are feeding like high levels of protein, like 1.6 to 2 grams per kilogram of body weight, you don't really see much difference in lean mass or protein synthesis with looking at different protein sources. Well, that's because it's much more regulatory on a low end because you're closer to those thresholds that trigger that signaling.

And so we wanted to show at that level That it made a difference. But then we also acknowledge, okay, at this level, it probably doesn't make as much of a difference. But people can read those things and say, well, I don't believe studies because they're conflicting.

But no, when you read how it was designed, I can easily say, like, I remember there was a, somebody sent me a study and said, well, how does this fit with your data, which... They were comparing rice versus whey protein and found that both stimulated protein synthesis to the same degree. And I said, well, they used 40 grams of protein.
