Give someone a meal of crabmeat, tuna fish, cottage cheese, and the stress hormone levels shoots up. Or, it could be due to a steroid stress hormone, called cortisol.Ī single meal high in animal protein can nearly double the level of stress hormone in the blood within a half hour of consumption-much more than a meal closer to the recommended level of protein. The increased weight gain and high blood pressure may be due to the obesity-causing chemical pollutants in the meat supply, as I’ve talked about before, or the animal protein-induced rise in the growth hormone IGF-1. This was part of another failed dietary intervention trial, in which mothers were advised to eat a pound of meat a day. The “offspring of mothers who reported eating more meat and fish” had higher blood pressure in adulthood.
More protein meant more prematurity, more deaths, and more growth retardation.Īnd, when kids grow up, animal protein intake during pregnancy has been associated with children becoming overweight later in life, and getting high blood pressure.
The high-protein group suffered “an excess of very early premature births and associated deaths,” as well as “significant growth retardation” in the babies that survived. So, they split poor black pregnant women into three groups, and gave them an extra 40 grams of animal protein a day-basically a couple cans of Ensure, versus about six extra grams of animal protein, or no extra protein, and sat back, and watched what happened. But, why let facts get in the way of assumptions? “High-protein diets during pregnancy: healthful or harmful?” A question answered about forty years ago, in the infamous Harlem Trial of 1976: a “randomized controlled trial of nutritional supplementation in pregnancy, in a poor black urban population.” The “study…was begun at a time when protein was assumed to be deficient in the diet of the poor…” Had they actually analyzed their diets before they started, they would have realized that wasn’t true.
