Like if I (a teen) eat 50 gram of protein in a day but I don’t use protein powder how is that any different than half of the protein I consume being whey protein (25/50 grams is protein powder) why is one ok and one apparently bad for your kidneys?
In: Other
your premise appears to be flawed. All the reliable sources I can find suggest that there is no proven link between protein powder and kidney damage, and nothing reliable suggests its bad for teens in specific.
There is the idea that you should be learning to eat a balanced diet without suplements, and embracing the joy of eating instead of choaking down protine shakes, but its just untested theory.
