My ape brain: "Okay, but these findings aren't as conclusive as they claim to be. One time, I read this study that said animal protein lead to obesity. But my brother said that he ate a ton of animal protein and that it helped him lose weight. And then it turned out the study was wrong! So in my experience it pays to listen to contrarian anecdotes."
