[디지털투데이 AI리포터] The hypothesis that ‘protein leverage’, which minimizes protein intake, is one of the factors causing obesity is attracting attention. However, experts point out that more research is needed on this hypothesis.
According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), over 4 million people have died from obesity or overweight. Since 1975, rates of obesity-related diseases in children and adolescents have more than quadrupled.
According to Medical News Today (MNT) on the 6th (local time), protein leverage minimizes protein intake among the three major nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) that humans need to accumulate energy, while reducing calories that are lacking through carbohydrates or fats. means to fill.
St. Jude Medical Center manager Megan Warr told MNT, “There is some validity to the claim that protein leverage causes obesity.” “If you don’t eat enough protein, you will eat more carbohydrates or fats to meet the basic amount of protein, which leads to overeating and causes obesity,” he explained.
However, this is not the only factor that causes obesity. Experts are in the position that “the protein leverage hypothesis is only one of genetic, cultural, and geopolitical factors.”
“Protein leverage is just an attempt to simplify the causes of obesity,” the director of the Center for Health at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a large Los Angeles hospital, told MNT. “There hasn’t been enough research done to prove it’s a major cause of overeating. ” showed a position.
