Does consuming too much protein, especially whey protein affect kidneys causing failure?

Answer 1

not at all. if the kidneys are healthy a high protein diet will not have any effect on them.

the human body can not differeniate between protein sources. the body treats proteins derived from supplements the same as from natural sources.

the term "high protein" is subjective. what is high to one person is not to another, especially if they have substantial amounts of lean body mass that requires it.

for all those that say otherwise please post a medical stating that a high protein diet causes kidney failure.

where are the millions of athletes all over the world from the past 60 years with kidney failure?
