This is also interesting, though of course it's a bit ... tautological, or self-defeating. That is, taken to extremes the "logical" conclusion would be no cell division at all. So I'd guess that shouldn't be a significant factor in an athlete's cost/benefit analysis. Maybe there's a defined amount of protein/day where the risk factors exponentiate, but I bet the science is as yet too imprecise to find it.I did some reading after you mentioned risks of high protein, and while I didn't read about calcium I did read about cancer. More protein means more cellular growth and division, and more cellular growth and division means more risk of cancer. This, also, becomes more significant in older people.
