I find protein is one of the most confusing things to understand from Peat's work.
Does anyone know how he arrived at the figure of 80-100g per day? I'm assuming that's the amount required to properly nourish the liver to detoxify estrogen, amongst the other uses of protein in the diet.
I ask because, from a pragmatic perspective, drinking lots of milk to meet that requirement seems really odd, yet all the other protein sources seem to have some serious negatives such that it's wise not to overconsume them. I guess the answer to that would be to eat a good mixture. Any ideas? Any citations or studies I can read?
