Now, turning to the results, it really varied by animal. If you look at brook trout, for instance, when they were put on a protein-restricted diet, they saw their average lifespan increase by 128 percent.

So keep in mind, this is animal models, so it's hard to say how this reflects in human beings, but the results are pretty undeniable.

So one thing that I found really interesting is that we often think about eating a lot of protein is connected with, like, building a lot of muscle, and that's not always the case.

There's only so much protein that your body can metabolize. And so a lot of excess protein just ends up either getting stored as fat or burnt off for energy.

So you really don't need to overdo it with protein if you're really interested in, you know, going to the gym and seeing some gains.

Everything in moderation tends to be a pretty good rule.

For the future of protein maxxing, it can be a little bit difficult to figure out what this means. This isn't necessarily new knowledge.

This paper really was just summarizing something that scientists in this area have known for quite some time.

Hopefully people take this under consideration and realize that they don't need to be buying protein-infused water and drinking that to really boost their muscle gains or anything like that.

But if you're interested in learning more, you can read about it on scientificamerican. Com. Thanks for that, Adam.
