This thread:

- list reviews or opinion papers that attempt to present as anti-protein or "protein risk" but its not #DATA

- list hi-quality papers providing evidence for benefits of protein intakes >RDA at least 1.2-2 g/kg for everyone

In the big picture soy protein is just as effective as whey protein for MPS. Whey digestion is somewhat faster, contains a little more leucine but no strong evidence to show that this is beneficial for muscle growth/repair over weeks/months. https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/japplphysiol.00076.2009?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%3dpubmed
