G'day G'day Protagonist,
Unfortunately the newstarget article is not the research article
which would have been interesting but rather an opinion piece.
It contains some bits of emotional logic that don't make it as
critical thinking. For example it suggests one shouldn't drink milk
because it is meant for baby cows. By this logic one shouldn't drink
soy milk because that is for baby soys.
Whatever.
It has been reasonably well established for some years that it safer
to have a MIX of animal and vegetable sources of protein to preserve
and possibly repair kidneys than to rely solely on animal protein.
Best wishes,
