As the human body cannot completely digest and assimilate so-called complete proteins, such as meats and meat products, in ingestion of too much of these causes the greater part of uric axid generated thereby to be absorbed into the muscles. The continuous use of meat protein taxes the working of the kidneys and of other eliminative organs, straining them to the point where a progressively smaller amount of uric asid is eliminated and a correspondingly greater amount is absorb by the muscle. The result is painfully known as rheumatism.
