During the normal and high protein phase of the treatment period, subjects consumed 2.6 ± 0.8 and 3.3 ± 0.8 g/kg/day of dietary protein, respectively. The mean protein intake over the 4-month period was 2.9 ± 0.9 g/kg/day. The high protein group consumed significantly more calories and protein (p < 0.05) than the normal protein group. There were no differences in dietary intake between the groups for any other measure. Moreover, there were no significant changes in body composition or markers of health in either group. There were no side effects (i.e., blood lipids, glucose, renal, kidney function etc.) regarding high protein consumption.
Conclusion
In resistance-trained young men who do not significantly alter their training regimen, consuming a high protein diet (2.6 to 3.3 g/kg/day) over a 4-month period has no effect on blood lipids or markers of renal and hepatic function. Nor were there any changes in performance or body composition. This is the first crossover trial using resistance-trained subjects in which the elevation of protein intake to over four times the recommended dietary allowance has shown no harmful effects
I wonder if it can be sustained for many years/decades, and not just 4months without harmful effects? Is there other studies where individuals took 3-4 times the amount of daily protein for a prolonged amount of time without any harmful side affects?

4months really isn't that much time, imo.
I've posted many links covering this before. This is simply the most recent study verifying what others have found.
This reminds me of the new cars that get ranked for quality. I for sure hope cars that are 6 months old are still reliable, do another survey in ten years.
4 months? Is this a joke? I also like how it says it made absolutely no difference in performance.

So post the study showing that it's harmful. You like to come on here and run your mouth about this topic but you haven't posted a shred of evidence to support your claim.

It also used advanced trainees (those who are probably already close to their genetic limit) and showed a decrease in fat mass for all but two of the high protein group.
