A member asked:
Please tell me, could a lack of protein lead to cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: However, it will ruin the quality of your life. Especially, some "pop" diets are protein-deficient and have made people (including children, who didn't get a choice) seriously sick. Your physician and an evidence-based dietician are your best friends.
