title: The protein controversy: what to tell your patients. Council on Nutrition Sciences and Metabolism.
abstract: Contrary to physician training, there is very little data to support any specific dietary recommendations to patients other than those put forth by the American Diabetes Association. In the absence of such data, physicians should probably refer their patients to Aristotle, who suggested that everything be done in moderation.
