Expert opinions on the #highprotein diet craze
The #highprotein diet trend on social media has some real health benefits, but doctors caution that blindly following it can cause real damage. Too much protein in the diet has been linked to kidney failure and bone fractures, specifically for women. Animal protein, specifically processed and red meats, has been linked to a number of cancers. Plant-based proteins like beans, nuts, and seeds are underconsumed foods in our diet and have added benefits of fiber. Protein powders can be packed with chemicals and additives, so it's better to stick with grass-fed, free-range, antibiotic-free meats.
