Is whey protein bad for the kidneys and liver in the long run? I've been taking whey in moderation for around a year now. I don't want to face any health issues in the near or distant future. I know whey is just a by-product of milk, but I've read conflicting reports about whey. Too much of anything is harmful, but how much is too much?
Hi Prakash,
Whey may be harmful for people with pre-existing renal diseases. Whey Protein have been proven to be very safe and effective. Numerous reports have confirmed use of whey in prevention of cancers and of course in muscle building.
So unless you have a specific reason to believe you might be harmed {like very old gae, poor kidney function}, you should fair fine.
