The AP 
(6/1) reports, "Dieters and would-be healthy eaters know the nutrient of the moment being tallied, sought and bought is protein." And, "Americans are seeking more -- and more unique -- sources of protein, from almonds ground into milk and soy reshaped as pasta, to peas and whey turned into powders and shakes." Meanwhile, "Americans are expected to consume about 15 percent less beef on a per capita basis this year compared to 2007," and "per capita consumption of all red meat and poultry is expected to be down by 10 percent." Yet, "the latest available federal survey of what Americans eat...shows both men and women commonly consuming more protein than needed, sometimes by a third or more."

High-Protein Diets Appear Safe For Obese People Without Kidney Problems. HealthDay (6/1, Doheny) reports, "High protein, Atkins-type diets don't cause noticeable harm to the kidneys in healthy patients without kidney disease," according to a study published online May 31 in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. While the study of 307 obese healthy adults revealed no dangers, "it is unknown whether the results would hold longer than two years or apply to people with chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or kidney disease," the study's lead author explained. The study was supported by grants by the National Institutes of Health.
