The protein "myth" has been floating around for generations. Historically, it can be traced to Milo of Crotona in the sixth century B.C. He was a famous Greek athlete who was considered to be one of the strongest men in ancient Greece. He had won wrestling victories in 5 Olympic games as well as in other sacred festivals.

Legend has it that Milo applied progressive resistance in the form of lifting a growing calf daily. By the time the calf was 4-years-old Milo carried it the length of the Olympian stadium, and then proceeded to kill, roast and consume it. Milos' daily consumption of meat was recorded at approximately 20 pounds a day.

When we fast-forward to the era of the sixties and seventies we find there was a renewed hype about protein being some sort of miracle food. This was due, largely, to the muscle magazines of the era which pushed protein and claimed it could make you grow as big as a god!

As a result, many bodybuilders and strength trainers started to consume large quantities of whole milk, meat and eggs.

Excessive protein, can cause a variety of body ailments--such as kidney and heart disease, constipation, and osteoporosis. These are often cited as the main reason one would want to steer clear of a diet rich in protein

no, you would have to go to really extreme levels of protein to do any damage to your body, unless you kidneys were already fucked. bodybuilders/weightlifters do need high levels of protein but the studies haven't showed a benefit above like 1.6g/kg so you don't need to go that crazy with it..
