Does protein help your bones stay strong, or does it hurt them? There research in this article has visits both sides of that question. The key that I took from reading this is that a high amount of protein intake leads to an increase the excretion of calcium through the urine. So to maintain bone health while consuming high amounts of protein, you should also be getting enough calcium in the diet as well.
