High Protein Diet - High Health Risk!

As acidic problems have begun surfacing related to high protein diets such as kidney function impairment to the body pulling calcium from the bones to neutralize excess acids from the breakdown metabolites of protein such as uric, nitirc, phosphuric and sulfuric acid, the non-profit organization Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine began tracking folks having health challenges.

For example, in the Good Medicine Magazine from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Volume XIII, Number 1, addressed medical complaints from users of high protein diets such as Atkins and South Beach. Here is how they responded:

Loss of energy 50%
Constipation 50%
Bad Breath 34%
Difficulty concentrating 31%
Gallbladder problems 14%
Heart problems 10%
Reduced kidney function 9%
Kidney stones 9%
Elevated cholesterol 8%
Gout 6%
Osteoporosis 6%

Other problems cited include colon polyps, colon cancer, other forms of cancer, heart attacks, severe stomach problems, irritable bowel syndrome, arotic aneurysm, daily hives, elevated iron levels, rheumatoid arthritis, brain hemorrhage, diverticulitis/osis, dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, headaches, cramps, diarrhea and numbness in limbs, just to name a few.

I guess you might say that high protein diets are diets to die for not live for.
