Abstract

It is widely believed that protein malnutrition is a serious risk, if not an inevitable consequence, of low-protein diets (LPDs). This is, in fact, one of the main obstacles to its widespread use. This conviction is particularly deep-rooted in countries whose eating habits involve high nitrogen ingestion. In countries where meat and protein (PR) of high biological value (HBV) in general were traditionally—or even still are—eaten only rarely, this prejudice is not a problem.
