In various studies, in general, plant protein was associated with less health
risk than animal protein [53,62], but the direct cause - effect relationship between plant protein and health risks has not been proven.

Numerous studies have linked diets higher in plant
protein than animal protein to reduced
risk of heart disease, cancer, and other health ailments.
Research from the Massachusetts General Hospital showed that those who consumed a large quantity of
animal protein — especially if they ate more processed red meat
than fish or poultry — had a higher
risk of premature death
than the average person.
The new analysis, conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital, found that people who ate a lot of
animal protein had a higher -
than - average
risk of dying over the next few decades, especially if they favored processed red meat over fish or poultry.
Frequent exercise cuts the
risk of cancers associated with IGF - 1 to a much greater extent
than cutting
animal protein does, and also doesn't predispose you to the diseases associated with low IGF - 1.
Plant - based advocates argue that anything greater
than 15 % of total calories increases your
risk for chronic disease, whereas

You already know that a plant - based diet is more helpful to prevent kidney stones, rather
than a diet high in
animal protein; what I'd recommend to you is to limit, not avoid completely, some vegetables that are high in oxalates in order to minimize your
risk of forming stones again.
Obesity and obesity - related diseases increase the
risk of prostate cancer (vegans weigh less
than meat eaters), high concentration of IGF increase the
risk of prostatecancer (higher level with
animal fat and
animal protein intake), dairy intake increase the
risk of prostatecancer (IGF, high calcium intake).
If we equate de facto ketogenic diets with high -
protein diets (which is not always correct) then the
risks proposed by critics of this type of dietary approach are essentially those of possible kidney damage due to high levels of nitrogen excretion during
protein metabolism, which can cause an increase in glomerular pressure and hyperfiltration.12 There is not wide agreement between studies; however, some infer the possibility of renal damage from
animal studies, 99, 100 whereas others, looking at both
animal models, meta - analyses and human studies, propose that even high levels of
protein in the diet do not damage renal function.101, 102 In subjects with intact renal function, higher dietary
protein levels caused some functional and morphological adaptations without negative effects.103 There may actually be renal - related effects, but on blood pressure rather
than morphological damage.
«After working with leading universities, we have now found that restricting
protein in a dog's diet may do more harm
than good by potentially putting the companion
