PROTEIN ARTHRITIS
PAUL B. MAGNUSON M.D.
There is a definite relation between high protein intake and chronic joint pain; this is not always indicated by high uric acid content in the blood, although it may be.
There is a definite form of arthritis due or associated with incomplete metabolism, poor elimination, or both.
This condition is found in the young as well as in the old; in the lean as well as in the fat; in those of active as well as those of sedentary habits.
