check out this study abuot high protein and kidney damage.

Granted, this is in pigs, most animal physiology is pretty similar with minor differences. These pigs were not even on THAT high of a protein diet and suffered kidney damage and scarring.

Were the pigs lifting on a 5 day split? ; )

Lol - in all seriousness though - I would think that the increased demand for protein synthesis turnover created by regularly lifting would make this study non-applicable to bodybuilders....

But the pigs didn't train!! If you're creating a demand for a higher protein diet for muscle repair/rebuilding then perhaps this study does not apply.

Holy Crap!! Skynett are you psychically in my brain or what!!

 

[bananas007]

yeh i understand that. low protein is dangerous too. So how do you find the right amount. ?

Ha ha...no, but that's always the most glaring issue with studies like this.

I didn't have a chance to post in Kaladryn thread( got a phone call and forgot to post....plus old age setting in ) how I recently seen a Nephroligist and said the same as Kaladryn.

Also per our PM, I'd be more than happy to do what I can my friend.
