DESCRIPTION: Anti-inflammatory drugs abolish the hyperfiltration and protein leakage response to meat ingestion, suggesting that animal protein causes kidney stress through an inflammatory mechanism.
This is part of an extended new series of videos on kidney health:
• Preventing Kidney Failure through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preve...)
• Treating Kidney Failure through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/treat...)
• Can Diet Protect against Kidney Cancer? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/can-d...)
• How to Prevent Kidney Stones with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-t...)
I’ve compared plant and animal protein in a variety of ways. See, for example,
• Methionine Restriction as a Life Extension Strategy (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/methi...)
• Prostate Cancer Survival: The A/V Ratio (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prost...)
• Caloric Restriction vs. Animal Protein Restriction (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/calor...)
And perhaps the most dramatic demonstration was the new study I featured in my latest live annual presentation Food as Medicine: Preventing and Treating the Most Dreaded Diseases with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-.... I’m working that into a new video that goes into greater depth—stay tuned!
Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/which... and he'll try to answer it!
