VIDEO: High Dietary Protein and Bone Health

High Protein, Liver, Kidney and Bone Health

This is another video that I found very interesting. It says a lot in a short amount of time! The study mentioned in the video is listed in the references below.
The man in the video briefly talks about two specific studies; the one I listed below and another from the Framingham Osteoporosis Study (which I will review in a later post). The main study mentioned was a year long study in which they took 2 groups, one high protein (30%) and one low protein (15%). The results showed that there were NO negative health outcomes to the liver, kidney or bone in the high protein group. He doesn't state what study/research it was, however, he states that it has been shown that a high protein diet is better than a high carbohydrate diet. High CHO diets have been linked to an increase in weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease.
