The typical North American diet delivers 90 to 150 grams per day of protein, yet we only require about 20 grams per day, with vegetable protein being recommended over animal protein. Our bodies have no mechanism for storing surplus dietary protein and consuming more than we require is detrimental over time. While the breakdown of cooked animal protein is especially taxing on our stomach and pancreas, it still cannot be converted into complete amino acids, which the liver needs. Excess protein consumption causes strong acid formation, depletes calcium, overworks and enlarges the pancreas, causes liver congestion and kidney/adrenal fatigue, etc. Nevertheless, vegetarians and vegans are often questioned regarding protein!
