Ah, how times change. For years people have been saying--with no evidence--that dietary protein harms the kidneys. Now comes a paper advocating the ketogenic diet as a treatment for chronic kidney disease. https://t.co/oIXiyQYfO4 pic.twitter.com/5dHyI81HAZ

Any food that spikes your blood glucose causes an increase in renal filtration, glomerular pressure, and renal cell protein glycation = BAD FOR YOUR KIDNEYS
Eat #LowCarb, #Keto to avoid this… pic.twitter.com/9dWgO4L4d6
