I think nobody may be a bit of an exaggeration, e.g.

"The risks of a high-protein diet are even comparable to smoking, the researchers said."[1]

The study that article is based on (well, there are several layers of 'articles' between the SA article and the actual study) is particularly bad (in a field where bad research is pretty much the norm)...

High protein or high in red meat? There's a huge difference there. If I eat a high protein diet with my protein coming from e.g. soy, am I still under the same risk?
