High Protein Diets: Separating Fact from Fiction

Quote:

"This paper is a response to “High-Protein Diets--Are You Losing More Than Weight?” by Monique Gilbert. The article appeared in the American Naturopathic Medical Association’s quarterly publication MONITOR (vol.5, #4, 2001) and is posted at http://www.anma.com.

In the December issue of the Monitor, there was an **unreferenced ** article by a self-styled “health advocate” named Monique Gilbert that deserves considerable comment for the large amount of errors and misinformation it contained. “High-Protein Diets--Are You Losing More Than Weight?” is little more than a vegan and soy propaganda piece. If the propaganda were accurate, one could forgive Ms. Gilbert for her zeal. In this case, however, it is not and inaccuracies cost lives. "

These are the opening paragraphs by Dr. Stephen Byrnes {PhD, RNCP} in an online article entitled High Protein Diets: Separating Fact from Fiction ; see full text, **including references ** in his case, at http://www.powerhealth.net/protein2001.htm .

Nice to see both critical thinking and speaking up, counter to the politically correct stream, by a Nutritionist because, admittedly, it is rare for me to run across it... note that **emphases ** in the above quote are mine.

Judi, I just found this article while surfing, talk about debunking protein myths! This one is a keeper - there are a few people I am going to be showing this to ;)

I read both articles. Wow! Dr. Byrne's was very informative. I would love to send the article to friends, but haven't figured out if I can. Thanks for your research. I appreciate your effort. :thup: Victoria

Victoria, you can EASILY email a link to this page to anyone you wish, see the email icon at both top and bottom of any of the Forum webpages...

Enjoy, and spread the (referenced and supported) word ! :D

Great article Judi :thup: and thanks for bringing this to our attention...I found someone to forward this on to...Margaret Langille.. ;) ...she e-mailed me today to inform me she is writing another article RE: High Protein/Low Carb Diets that is supposed to be in Friday's Edition of, "The Daily Gleaner"...this should be interesting ... I personally am not expecting any change of opinion.... :(
