Too much protein is supposed to tax the kidneys and leech calcium from your bones.

But I still take more than the recommended amounts.

But how many g/kg does it actually take to put you at risk. I mean were all still here.

I agree with flug.Diets that are too high in particular nutrients lead to imbalances within the body.Some people think that the excess is just pissed out but i honestly think theres more to it.Ive heard many medical practioners say that high protein leads to a certain level of liver/kidney damage and also leeching of calcium.
Too much of ANYTHING is bad.
