Whey protein is the by-product of cheese making. There's very little "man-made" about it.

Living tissue is at a ph of 7. It falls to about a 5.5 at slaughter. You limit red meat because of saturated fats not acidity. Once the meal is combined the pH is the end product of the combined meal (much like GI).

There are a lot more proteins than 7. Look it up. There are 1000's and no complete answer.

Beef is highly acidic, so too much is bad.

Dropping a 5.5 pH peice of meat into a 2 pH stomache acid solution isn't bad for you.

Beef is the most acidic meat there is. Randy Couture is on the alkaline diet (more greens, less meat) and said that put him in the best shape of his life. I'm not saying don't eat beef though, just keeping that in mind.

When they say too much protein is bad, do they mean protein from any source or they just talking about protein you get from supplements?

And by the way, beef is jacked up with growth hormones and other things which make you fat and is harmful to your health so it's better to eat it organic.
