Protein Kills - Save Your Kids!

Kevin W. Reese - Protein Kills!
 
In the video above Kevin W. Reese talks about the negative effects of protein on the body, I advise you spend 10 minutes and watch it.
 
A few points Kevin makes about protein:
  •  Protein is on the acid side of chemistry. When we consume protein our bodies have to break that protein down into amino acids. For this to occur the body has the produce more pepsin and hydrochloric acid, more acids! This causes inflammation and as Kevin puts it, causes your body to be, "on fire".
  • We need amino acids not protein. You get amino acids from fruit and vegetables.
  • Extremely harsh on the kidneys. Too much protein in the diet can lead to the kidneys leaking protein.
  • We're a protein driven society. Protein basically sells products; protein powders, amounts added to labels, etc. In America the 'GOT MILK' campaign is pretty big, adverts on TV highlight the benefits of drinking milk, and how it does the body good!
Eat a plant-based diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, and you'll cover your protein needs, easy peasy!
