Animal protein is able to cause liver cirrhosis in humans, studies have shown that were presented at the international scientific congress on hepatology in the Netherlands.

Doctors say that now many are addicted to healthy nutrition and constantly eat protein, in order to build muscle mass, which can adversely affect human health.

Experts invited for experiments 3400 volunteers at the age of 71 years, who were taken tests and measured the parameters of the physical state of the body.

Some people who constantly have high protein foods in the diet were suffering from excess weight, as well as violations in the functioning of the liver and the development of diabetes.

Excessive consumption of animal protein provokes fatty liver disease, which can then lead to malfunctions in her work, as she simply can not cope with such a load. The result is the development of heart disease along with atherosclerosis, and in chronic processes, cirrhosis may occur. Previously, scientists believed the cause of this disease is excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages, but now found a new risk factor.
