'The row has also highlighted a number of claims about the safety of protein supplements.

For although the supporters of shakes such as pea protein state the product reduces the risk of diseases such as heart attack and strokes, conflicting scientific studies claim that the supplements can cause kidney and liver problems, and more significantly, increase the risk of cancer and diabetes.'

Where are these studies?

Some more 'informal' (read likely made up by the Mail) studies mentioned here:

'Informal studies have revealed that a daily dose of the fat-free, cholesterol-free pea protein reduces calorie intake by a staggering 1,500 per day'

I don't even know what that is supposed to mean?
