"Perhaps now is the time to consider the economic and environmental consequences of increasing the population's intake of protein," concluded Astrup.

This is a whirlpool of ideas, refutations and cross-examinations. The problem of obesity is certainly a grave one and the time has come when no one can turn their backs towards it. But whether protein could be the key to bringing the obesity epidemic to its knees, opinion is divided.

So much said and done is not the end! In order to make a conclusive statement lot of aspects both scientific and economical need to be looked on. Policy makers will have a tough time and will not sleep over the matter. The matter will rest only when a declarative statement regarding the safety of the high protein diet is established. If done then it will be a revolution of sorts.
