Nice video. I supplement with various protein supplements, but most enjoy my brown rice protein, and mixed plant protein that includes hemp, pea, and brown rice. I find whey just doesn't excite me, so glad to head I can stick with my easier to take plant sources.

I'm not sure the study shows what you claim. Yes, the more plant protein the better. However, the range is approximately from 0.8 to 1.5 g/kg for total protein. In the highest quintile, plant protein is only making up 6.0% of their diet. With so many people like Peter Attia, Layne Norton, Rhonda Patrick, Thomas Delauer, Gabrielle Lyon, and others pushing 2.2 g/kg; 1.5 g/kg is no longer considered a high protein diet to a lot of people. More is not better.

For animal protein and total protein it is a different story. It's the 3rd quintile (middle) that have the most healthy agers. This is for total protein (which includes plant protein), animal protein and dairy protein. This quintile has a total protein intake of 17.3% of calories and is around 1.2 g/kg, far below what the above YT inflencers are recommending at 2.2 g/kg.

Also, what the primary analysis left out was the healthier lifestyles of the nurses who ate higher protein. Once adjusted for, higher protein had no benefits. As total protein increased the nurses reported more physical exercise, lower calorie intake, lower smoking, higher fruit and vegetable intake, higher legume intake, higher multivitamin use, lower alcohol use, and higher education.

Interestingly, even though the higher protein eaters had healthier lifestyles, they also had higher BMI, more hypertension, and higher cholesterol; but I don't know the distributions in each quintile, so it might not be gaussian and have outliers or be skewed. Or just more saturated fat, which they did measure.
