While no defined intake level at
which potential adverse effects
of protein was identified, the
upper end of AMDR based on
complementing the AMDR for
carbohydrate and fat for the
various age groups. The lower
end of the AMDR is set at
approximately the RDA..

Most people need 40 to 70 grams of protein per day (the CDC's general protein recommendation for adults is 46 g a day for women, and 56 g a day for men).
SAD protein intake is right at 100g/day. On what planet is that "3 to 5 times" more than 46g?
An article that can't even get simple things like that right is not an article I'm going trust.

The quality of protein being consumed today is poor at best. By consuming too much of it, you increase your health risks. Those who consume too much protein and suffer bad health will remember my post in 30 to 40 years.0

While this is true, it does not change the fact that this alone shoots down the entire idea. Yeah you added additional factors too, so what? Now you need to prove that by adding antibiotics and hormones that protein over 40-70g/day causes health problems, where it didn't before. Go on...
And even one could prove this, you would only prove that its the addition of the other factors, not protein over 40-70g/day that caused the problems...0 -
