Animal Protein is Toxic

1. Kidney Function: Impairs kidney blood flow, impairs, kidney

blood flow, and causes a rapid decrease in kidney function; with

inflammation appearing to be the primary impact.

2. IGF-1: Animal protein stimulates a higher production of IGF-1

(Insulin-like Growth Factory-1), a hormone that has been consistently

associated with cancer risk, with proliferation of cancer cells, and

malignancy. As Grandma Benson would say, “That ain’t good.”

3. TMAO: (Trimethylamine N-oxide). Animal protein is

responsible for us having higher circulating of TMAO; which is highly

inflammatory substance promoting the formation of cholesterol

plaques in our blood vessels; highly problematic for heart health.

4. Phosphorus: Animal protein contains high levels of

phosphorus which is harmful to our blood vessels and cardiac

muscles; leading to heart attacks, heart failure, and/or sudden death.

5. Sulfur: Animal protein have, in general, higher concentrations of

sulfur containing amino acids which induces a state of acidosis which

pulls calcium from our bones.

6. Fats/Cholesterol: Animal protein foods contain large amounts

of saturated fat and cholesterol; the two key collaborators for heart

attacks and death.

7. Heme Iron: Animal protein, because it contains ‘heme iron’

which causes oxidative stress, DNA damage and promotes highly

reactive free radicals; plants contain ‘non-heme iron’ which avoids the

negative issues.
