Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While overconsumption of protein can lead to an increased risk of heart disease, the worsening of existing kidney disease, and inadequate intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, it is not directly associated with an increased risk of developing liver disease. Overconsumption of protein is primarily associated with an increased risk of heart disease and the worsening of existing kidney disease. Inadequate intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is also a risk, but not an exception. There is no clear evidence linking overconsumption of protein with the development of liver disease.
