Genetics is a major factor in the development of many health problems, but the environment to which genes are exposed also plays a significant role.  In general, high protein diets, depending on the food choices of the diet, increase risk for the following: inadequate vitamins and minerals (especially antioxidants), low fiber intake, high total and saturated fat intake, excess caloric intake, excess protein intake.  These problems can have long-term negative impacts.

Conditions that suggest Excess Protein Consumption:

Allergy

Allergy to Foods (Hidden)

High-protein diets may trigger food allergies.  Food allergies often arise when protein is poorly digested and/or particular protein-containing foods are consumed too frequently.

Diet

High protein intakes may lead to dehydration due to excessive urine output (related to ketone production).
