The more protein we eat, the faster our bodies synthesise protein, which sounds good on paper, right? But, the researchers found, this sped-up process is not good in practice. Additionally, Proud explained, when the process is sped up the body may not be able to remove protein waste fast enough. “It always has to be kept in balance,” he said.
While most of the science is based on animal studies, Proud says the same mechanisms they were looking at exist in humans
