DOES HIGH PROTEIN INTAKE HAVE SIDE EFFECTS?
In a study conducted by the scientists Kalman D., Antonio J. In a study conducted by the University of Delaware, strength athletes were given a diet containing 40% of their calories from protein, 37% from carbohydrates and 23% from fat for one month. The kidney and liver function and the immune system were then examined. The athletes continued their usual training four times a week and were examined every two weeks. The results of the study show that this very PROTEIN-RICH DIET HAS NO NEGATIVE EFFECTS on the parameters investigated.
The kidney function showed no impairments. This confirmed once again what strength athletes have long known from experience: if you have healthy kidneys and no family history of kidney disease, you have nothing to fear, even if your diet contains a high proportion of protein.
