Protein
-
Creating this thread to compile some questions I have about protein/amino acids and related research when I have time to look into it. Anybody that wants to look into this with me is welcome.
Questions:
Peat recommended limiting protein to restrict the intake of methionine, cysteine and tryptophan.
- Are the benefits of restricting these amino acids worth the downfall of restricting all amino acids? I want specific studies talking about consequences of low vs regular protein intake. Also understand this is broad, but wanted to examine the effect of low protein outside a lab setting.
- Does consuming gelatin use up these amino acids in the body?
- What exactly is the upper limit of gelatin intake before negatives kick in/ is there a difference in the limits between collagen and gelatin due to different absorption kinetics?
- What are the exact consequences of excess gelatin? Gut distress and ammonia production have been mentioned but I want to find out exactly why and how this happens
- What happens exactly when using gelatin as sole protein in diet?
- How does gelatin affect fernstrom ratios exactly? Which amino acids are elevated in serum and the brain?
- How does gelatin affect mtor and autophagy?
- Is gelatin better alone or accompanied by other protein and why?
- Is it better to get protein in a bolus dose once daily to maximize autophagy otherwise?
- How does protein affect blood sugar regulation? Fire in a bottle has some interesting posts about bcaas and blood sugar
I’ll post more questions as I think of them. Little busy currently but I’ll start working through these soonish when I get some free time.

Here is a post I made about gelatin. I reference Haidut talking about nausea occuring at high levels of consumption and some other info.

Apparently heavy metals may be a concern. Now Foods brand I would expect to have high standards around this.

@jamsey Bookmarking, really want to know more about gelatin.
