Really? which amounts in grams of protein?
Protein toxicity of course varies between humans.
Influences are:
Size of the kidney.
Amount of water ingested (or better pissed - you may excuse)
Total mass of the blood (as a buffer temporarily storing amonia and other
acids). Should be related to body size.
Size of the liver.
Extent to which the liver is occupied with other tasks
- like metabolizing alcohol.
