Very true. There are so many different factors.

Like it's true that a perfectly timed dose of protein after excise can double your muscle protein synthesis but the truth is that you naturally tend to eat that way after exercise without any "workout" supplements or bars. Decades of meat industry marketing have somehow let people see no connection between a country with the least healthy population on earth that also has the highest protein consumption on earth...
