The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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.

Yeah.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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 were the outcomes?

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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.

CVT type outcomes.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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.

So biomarkers, obviously.

Let's talk a bit about the epidemiology in this space.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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.

So I think everybody listening to this podcast knows what epidemiology is, and we've talked a lot about the limitations of it and what a healthy user bias is.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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.

But give us the landscape of how epidemiology has looked specifically at this question of the relationship between protein intake and outcomes of health.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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 are some of the near unique or particular circumstances of epidemiology that lend itself to confusion here?

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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 do you think are the three most important biases that impact this particular question when asked through an epidemiologic lens?

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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 why do you think the editors at journals are unable to address that in the review process?

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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.

Where is AI in this process?

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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 mean, why are we not, or are we using LLMs to serve as peer editors?

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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 do we know if these AI agents, these peer review agents, I'll call them, are being trained on known fraudulent manuscripts?

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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.

Because we certainly have an abundance of things that were demonstrated to be frauds.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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.

So it would be, I assume, a reasonable thing to do to start training these AI agents on that to start identifying the patterns?

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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.

Again, the answer is yes, but very much in its infancy.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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.

Okay.

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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.

Who's leading the charge on this?

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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 do you think is the most compelling piece of epidemiologic data against the idea of exceeding the RDA?

The Peter Attia Drive
#368 β€’ 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.

Let's flip the question now again, which is, okay, I'm going to argue that lower protein is better because I've just demonstrated you are not going to starve to death at, let's just round up and call it one gram per kilogram of body weight.
