Given that high-protein diets — such as paleo or ketogenic — are so popular today, it’s surprising there haven’t been more evaluations of how protein intake affects the risk of heart failure. Yet the Finnish researchers were clear in their conclusion: “High protein intake may not be the optimal dietary strategy in the prevention of heart failure.”###Also surprising is that plant-based diets, which people adopt for their health and other reasons, were associated with a slightly higher risk of heart failure — although those diets were assigned the lowest risk level except for protein from fish and eggs.###Food manufacturers might want to track such studies and make sure they aren’t advocating protein sources which are not heart-healthy.

The Recommended Dietary Allowance for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight — considered the minimum to meet basic nutritional requirements.

It may help people more likely to follow personalized nutrition plans to find out how much protein they really need and adjust their intake accordingly.###Protein is currently one of the hottest trends in food. Brands are adding protein to all sorts of products, from chips to chocolate milk to snack cakes, hoping to be seen as both functional and delicious.###The findings from this study may have small impact unless they’re widely publicized by the American Heart Association, food manufacturers and media outlets. Chances are it will take more than that to get consumers to change their eating habits.
