    fantastic, Les is probably my favourite because of his "money where my mouth is" attitude. Although he says "protein poisoning" and that drives me up the wall.

    In reference to one who's diet is only eating rabbit meat, because there is no fat, only protein, you can die from that lack of fat which the body needs.

    ahh yes, but protein poisoning sort of indicates that the protein itself is the issue...its uhhh wrong. Like Mike indicated, its not the protein that is the issue.

    Well, it kinda is the issue to a point like in the link I provided. Is sorta like if it was called 'water poisoning', you can die if you drink way too much water, while the real issue is lack of electrolites (salt) in your blood, the water is the main cause of that................. meh, I just got up after a night of drinking, my brain isn't reacting fast enough.

    ahh yeah but protein intake has no effect on the fat issue... it's totally unrelated, at least the water in water poisoning is related... Think of the eskimos, they are all about the protein and fat diet!
