This case is very interesting to me in regard to a blood glucose perspective. The weakness in the morning due to lack of protein could be a blood sugar issue if one is hypoglycemic. I realize the post indicated that blood sugar wasn't the case; however, standard blood sugar tests are often not as thorough as they could be, and it is possible that this was misinterpreted. Anyone who does not have some type of protein in the morning on a regular basis puts their glucose levels at risk, because without protein, foods release sugar into your bloodstream more rapidly. Sometimes, low blood sugar can also be due to a chromium deficiency. Chromium keeps the pancreas in balance (the pancreas produce insulin). Also, blood sugar levels can change over time due to age.
Protein in and of itself is not carcinogenic. However, some proteins can be contaminated by additives that may be carcinogenic, such as nitrates, hormone injections, pesticides, etc.
