Some thoughts
Excess protein consumption in the absence of alkalizing mineral intake (usually from fruits and vegetables) may leads to low grade acididosis in which calcium and glutamine may be leached from bone and muscle respectively to keep the blood pH steady. Where gross caloric intake is adequate, however, a more benign form of ketosis generally results. (This should not be confused with the very harmful ketoacidosis, seen primarily in diabetics and alcoholics.) The overall effect on physical health of a low-carbohydrate diet -- especially concerning blood lipids, bone mass, potential osteoporosis, and possible strain on the liver and kidneys -- is the subject of an impassioned debate, which has not been resolved. All reputable authories agree, however, that excess protein consumption requires additional water intake to prevent dehydration. There is a large spectrum ranging from malnutrition to optimal health, which includes many common symptoms and diseases which can often be prevented or alleviated with better nutrition.
