> I have read that excessive protein and amino acids increases the nitrogen levels in your blood, making it more acidic. Your body tries to maintain a ph balance by leeching calcium from your bones to neutralise the acidic blood. Could the increase in plasma calcium levels cause this dry skin effect?? Or is it due to an overly acidic blood ph??

I don't know where that notion came from, but I hope it goes to its grave soon. It is utter poppycock.
I'll take a look around, and see what I can find out, to help you.
