too much protein, without exercise will lead to kidney failure. but if youre working out often then it shouldn't be a problem. same rule applies to supplements.

too much yolk will lead to raised cholesterol levels.

so Dr Slimey, instead of going for personal attacks why not back your 'facts' up? patho: the stones obstructing the kidney will lead to an atrophic kidney, resulting in a dilated and thinning of the kidney and impaired function. biochemistry: 1.75mg of bone calcium lost into urine, for every increased 1g of animal protein intake. when more than 90% of your kidney function is lost, you get ESRF. yes, so if just one kidney is blocked you will still be fine.

High protein diet has been implicated in chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, renal insufficiency, renal stones, cancer, coronary artery disease, It has been found that high animal protein intake in healthy individuals increases the probability of forming kidney stones by 250% - Robertson et al 1979.

Restricting protein intake improved lithogenic profile in hypercalciuric patients. - Giannini et al 1999.

High incidence of calcium oxalate, in increased intake of animal protein - Curhan et al 1996, Robertson n Peacock 1982.

Increase in urinary excretion of calcium with increased protein intake. As a result, may lead to loss of bone calcium, and formation of renal calcium stones - Allen et al 1979, Heany 1993, Leamann 1999.

Protein intake under 2. 8 g.kg does not impair renal function in well-trained athletes as indicated by the measures of renal function used in this study - Poortmans Dellalieux 2000.

Reduction in animal proteins and salt is associated with a lower relative supersaturation for calcium oxalate and a marked decrease in risk of incident stone formation. All the diets above mentioned have as a common characteristic the reduction of the potential acid load of the diet that can be correlated with a higher risk of recurrent nephrolithiasis. Containment of animal protein and salt can decrease significantly urinary supersaturation for calcium oxalate and reduce the relative risk of stone recurrence in hypercalciuric renal stone formers - Trinchieri 2013, J Med Life.

Patients with appreciable albuminuria are much more likely to develop tubulointerstitial scarring and fibrosis and progress to end-stage renal failure - Stoian 2012, J Med Life.

these are not wikipedia quotes. quoted from real Medical Journals.

was what i shared too complicated for you?

so you look for ONE article to debunk the debunk the findings in at least SEVEN other articles?

TLDR/layman version: excess protein lead to kidney stones, and THEN kidney failure.

aiks u changed the link

I suppose this is another grey area, with many inconclusive studies.

One side saying it's harmful, another saying insufficient evidence to prove its harmful.

so TS, I hope you have found your answer
