Heavy on the Moss?

So what I have been told is that it will help to bind unwanted protiens together so they drop out of your brew. So, adding too much will start to bind wanted protiens? And make your beer thin? Isn't it unfermented sugar the thing that gives beer body?

Does anyone know the science behind Irish Moss?
