Default Study: High Protein, LC Diet Safe for Kidneys

Here's a report on a recent 2 year study showing that LC won't
cause your kidneys to fall out:


http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2...e-for-kidneys/

"Researchers from the Indiana University School of Medicine compared
the effects of such a diet to that of a standard low-fat diet in 307
obese people who did not suffer from kidney disease or other chronic
illnesses.

After a two-year period, they found that the high-protein, low-carb
diet didn’t cause noticeable harmful effects on healthy obese
patients’ kidney function compared to obese people who followed a low-
fat diet."

Of course, they had to end it with this....

"But Vassalotti added that the most “successful nutrition therapy will
include a treating clinician, registered dietitian or certified
diabetes educator and the patient to consider an individualized
nutrition plan.”


And we all know what 99% of the above folks will tell people about
LC..... Most of
those experts are the ones that have been telling people that LC will
ruin your kidneys.
