Excess of proteins, besides triggering mTOR and IGF-1 + insulin, can cause other adverse effects.

Excessive uric acid concentration, with joint and gout problems
Kidney problems in those who are genetically sensitive

Consumption of meat proteins besides entails greater consumption of heme iron, which can be pretty damaging in large quantities

Last, consumption of an excess of animal proteins can be related to consumption of an excess of saturated fats, which depending on individuals (again there is a huge variation), can be bad.

One caveat: after 65, according to the studies of the biogerontologist Valter longo, the body would need more proteins.
According to dr Rosedale this happens only in those who do not eat low carb, which are the majority of people.
