Here we have one citizen very ingratiatingly offering other commentators a one-on-one conversation about the dangers of protein for critically ill and other cancer patients.
Some people liked the idea, so I will explain it separately.
So, the idea of limiting protein, which is difficult for our sick body to digest, is the fiercest game. We need protein. And if we are seriously ill, then we need even more protein.
Seriously ill
In the topic on nutrition for the elderly, we discussed this with you. There, even the recommended amount of protein for grandparents of 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight can be difficult to eat. And seriously ill patients in a hospital need 1.2 - 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. With such a diet, people are more likely to survive and less often to die.
In the hospital, protein can be poured into the patient's stomach through a tube, but in the wild at home, a person must cram protein into himself at every meal. Otherwise, it will hurt.
The protein dangers story has several roots.
Kidney
It used to be thought that people with kidney failure should drastically restrict protein in their diet because their kidneys cannot cope.
I remember how in the dashing nineties I recommended to sufferers on hemodialysis one egg every day and half a glass of milk. To type is necessary at least a little, but very valuable protein.
Then it turned out that you can not restrict so much. If a patient with kidney failure suddenly became more ill, then he was given protein, and the person could easily cope with 2.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. And all because with a serious illness, the need for protein increases.
Liver
The story is similar with the liver. If there is a lot of protein, then it rots in the intestines, and toxins are absorbed into the blood. If the liver is diseased, the toxins will pass by the liver and hit the brains. Thirty years ago, they tried to limit protein in such patients, but it got even worse. So they need protein too.
Beef and sausages
Red and processed meats increase your risk of bowel cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and more. They have been talking about this for twenty years.
If smoked meats and other sausages actually contain carcinogens, then beef was accused of the fact that cows with a high probability of eating grass with pesticides on the pasture. And it will be harmful to you and me.
For this case, I have already developed really delusional restrictions. Recent Danish nutritional guidelines call for limiting red meat... know why? Because the cows will fart and pollute the atmosphere. Therefore, you and I must eat soybeans and other peas. Okay, huh? We save the planet. Soon they will offer birth control. So that we do not defile the Universe with our breath.
So, just before the pandemic in 2019, a review of nutritionists somehow imperceptibly passed, who calculated the available data and realized that it would not be better without beef and sausages.
Well, that is, they chose cases when people actually limited themselves to red meat and smoked meats for three portions a week, and did not become healthier after that.
They actually had less heart problems, but this decrease was so insignificant that there was no point in bothering with a diet.
It turns out that beef and smoked meats have been rehabilitated.
This scandalous study was conducted recently, its reliability is not very high, but the fact remains. If they do similar research, they will most likely find the same thing.
It is clear that smoked meats contain carcinogens, but this is important for those who gorge themselves on sausages and red meat every day.
And, by the way, for the first time I noticed in a publication that the authors praise not vegans, but omnivorous meat eaters. Meat-eaters also have stronger muscles, and anemia is less common.
In short, we really need meat and other protein. Moreover, to eat away protein norms, it must be present in every meal. Meat, eggs, cottage cheese and legumes should be shoved into every meal.
This is how it is - the truth of life. And all these stories that you feed your tumor with protein is the stupidity of a person on whom no one's life depends. Patients will be fed with protein, they will pour protein mixtures into their stomachs through a tube, because this is the only way to support a weakened body. We can't live without protein.
Have you tried calculating the amount of protein in your diet with your phone? Try it. You will be very surprised.
