I have only been 100% raw and vegan for a little less than two weeks now. I had my blood and urine analized last week for this exact reason. I came from a very scientific family and that is the question they have all asked. All I can tell you is that so far, my total protein levels are high. I will continue with this analysis once a month with my physician. If you are concerned, I recommend you do the same.

I found some web sites that I find helpful in answering these questions. I hope they help you too.

Wow, that last link really is thorough! It's enough to make me 100% raw right now! Easier said than done, I'm working on it steadily though...thanks for that amazing link!
