A member asked:

Is driking protein shakes good for you at age 65?

Dr. Alvin Lin answered

No better than if 56: What I mean by that is that there's no evidence that protein shakes are necessarily any better at any given age. Sure if you're not consuming enough, they might be helpful. Sure, if you're trying to bulk up for a movie role, they might be helpful. But just based upon age, no.
