>>Studies show that sooner or later, high-protein diets result in renal (kidney) failure.

Show me these studies to which you refer!

I belong to a LISTSERV group (that includes scientists, doctors and nutritionists, BTW) that has examined numerous studies related to low-carb, including many studies concerning high protein/liver and kidney health. NOT ONE has shown that a normal, healthy kidney or liver is damaged by higher protein intake!

The *only* time that one should NOT have a higher protein diet is during end-stage renal failure, essentially when the kidneys are barely functioning. This is usually due to severe illness, genetic disorders or to damage caused by ....(drum roll)....high blood sugars!

What studies, who promoted them and what epedimiological controls (name the authority monitoring these studies) were in place for these studies?
