I'm still waiting for it.

I'm still waiting for the data.

David Allison wrote a piece on LinkedIn recently where it was basically a call to anyone.

Just show me the data that meet these criteria.

Human clinical trial of this duration.

Nothing but crickets.

The most negative data I saw recently was a study that looked at total parenteral nutrition in ICU patients, where the question was, hey, should we be ramming high amounts of protein in these people?

And the most negative thing you could say is it had no benefit.

And that's interesting.

Yeah.

So maybe we shouldn't be ramming high protein, total parenteral nutrition into the central veins of critically ill ICU patients.

But it didn't harm them.

And if anybody's going to be harmed, I would think it's the people that are in renal failure.

We haven't spoken specifically about pregnancy or adolescence.

What do we know about protein requirements?

Because there are clearly women listening to us right now who are pregnant or who will be pregnant.

And I don't think there are any adolescents listening to us, but I bet there are parents of adolescents.

So what kind of guidance would we want to give these folks?

Are there formal recommendations?

So if we accomplish nothing else, that's the single most important take-home message here.
