Top 30 Harmful Consequences of Too Much Protein in Our Diets

Based on measuring the output of urinary nitrogen, the human body requires 4.5 percent protein to stay in nitrogen balance. The individual consuming the American mainstream animal-centered diet consumes about 17 percent of calories in protein. (Approximately 70 percent of it is usable by the body, or 12 percent.) The individual consuming a vegan plants-only diet consumes about 11 percent protein in calories. (Approximately 60 percent of it is usable by the body, or 6.5 percent).
            Consequently, those consuming an animal-based diet are getting three times their protein needs and two times more than those practicing a vegan plants-only diet. Furthermore, about one-half of the excessive protein is animal protein, protein which is the more acidic and more harmful to the human body.

            Contrary to the popular belief, vegans meet their protein needs with plenty to spare. Also contrary to popular belief, protein beyond the body’s requirements can become a powder keg of trouble as demonstrated by these 30 explosive examples.
