Dietitian Tim Cassettari recently completed a literature review on plant protein and health outcomes – and the findings are set to revolutionise the way we think about this muscle-building nutrient. In the podcast, Tim outlines why the current list of essential amino acids might not be the only ‘essential’ amino acids after all. He also explores the latest evidence behind plant protein intake and health outcomes like mortality risk, diabetes, cognitive decline, body composition and satiety. Plus, Tim explains what these new findings mean for dietitians in practice and how they could impact the upcoming review of the dietary guidelines.
