Does Too Much Protein Damage Kidneys

Have you ever heard this from someone...to much protein is bad for your kidneys?

You guys know I don;t like to talk crap or make things up...
If anything by know you should know I like science and research more to prove my point...

So I'm sure you have heard from someone at some point that to much protein is bad for your kidneys...
and then you come to bootcamp and I'm telling you to eat, what sounds like a boat load of it...

Well here is what the science PROVES when it comes to "To Much Protein"
Study 1:
Perhaps the most consistently cited reference with regard to the potentially harmful effects of dietary protein intake on renal function is that of Brenner et al.  In brief, the Brenner Hypothesis states that situations associated with increased glomerular filtration and glomerular pressure cause renal injury, ultimately compromise renal function, and potentially increase the risk for or progression of renal disease. Brenner proposed that habitual consumption of excessive dietary protein negatively impacted kidney function by a sustained increased in glomerular pressure and renal hyperfiltration. Since the majority of scientific evidence cited by the authors was generated from animal models and patients with co-existing renal disease, extension of this relationship to healthy individuals with normal renal function is inappropriate.
---
Although excessive protein intake remains a health concern in individuals with pre-existing renal disease, the literature lacks significant research demonstrating a link between protein intake and the initiation or progression of renal disease in healthy individuals. More importantly, evidence suggests that protein-induced changes in renal function are likely a normal adaptative mechanism well within the functional limits of a healthy kidney.  At present, there is not sufficient proof to warrant public health directives aimed at restricting dietary protein intake in healthy adults for the purpose of preserving renal function.


Next...Does to much protein make you fat?
Another study:
The consumption of dietary protein is important for resistance-trained individuals. It has been posited that intakes of 1.4 to 2.0 g/kg/day are needed for physically active individuals. ..
Thus, the purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of a very high protein diet (4.4 g/kg/d) on body composition in resistance-trained men and women.

This is the first investigation in resistance-trained individuals which demonstrates that a hypercaloric high protein diet does not contribute to a fat mass gain. Furthermore, there was no change in body weight or lean body mass.

So excess protein did not make anyone gain weight....

SO....UNLESS YOU HAVE A STUDY THAT IS BETTER THAN THESE TO CLEAR UP WHY YOU ARE HAVING A SALAD INSTEAD OF EGGS OR CHICKEN...THEN I SUGGEST YOU SWITCH

+ How Important is Health?
A ‘Good Life’ is relative to the individual. The ‘4 Pillars of a ‘Good Life– Health, Wealth, Love and Happiness’ are the main criteria in varying degrees to achieve this goal. Together, they can create the lifestyle you seek and the ‘Good Life‘ you deserve!

Health is always number 1...without health..you can't have the others...
My health, my families health and my students health...is very important to me..and that is why Kyäni...
