diabetic food

Editorial Welcome to the fourth issue of the Bulletin, If you have not read the previous issue of the Health Bulletin has a second look at the meat and protein myths. If you have not read the previous issue of the Evidence-based Health Bulletin – a newsletter created for the Christian Resource Centre (Bermuda) by Michael Nisbett, More that 20 million Americans suffer diseases of the kidney and urinary tract and more than 90,000 die each year. Such damaged kidneys normally continue to deteriorate. Although tightly controlling the blood sugars and blood pressures of diabetics can help, the disease will still progress and worsen with time. A classic study was done on chronic kidney failure patients who had already lost significant kidney function. These patients had protein in the urine, which is the result of weakened kidney filtering. Normal kidneys do not produce urine that contains protein. Doctors had measured their kidney filtering ability. This issue of the Bulletin, let me suggest that you start there first.

Last time, we looked at the history of protein, the “complementary” protein theory and the relationship between animal protein intake and reduce the risk of diseases associated with animal protein consumption. So, here we go!! Exposing the Meat & Protein Myths-Part Two A High Protein Diet Deteriorates Kidney Function We have known for years that diabetic food diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes can destroy the kidney’s microscopic filtering units called nephrons. For example, among diabetics, kidney disease is one of the leading causes of death and medical disability. One out of three diabetics who are dependent on insulin eventually develop kidney failure requiring either dialysis or transplantation. More that 20 million Americans suffer diseases of the kidney and the circulatory system. We will also wrap up with recommendations to promote a healthy protein intake and diseases such as osteoporosis and cancer. This issue, we will look at the meat and protein myths.

If you have not read the previous issue of the Bulletin, Last time, we looked at the history of protein, the “complementary” protein theory and the relationship between animal protein intake and diseases such as osteoporosis and cancer. This issue, we will look at the effects of animal protein on weight management, A high protein intake can progressively destroy kidney nephrons, which weakens the kidney filtering ability. In normal individuals this value is around 125 milliliters per minute (ml/min). However, these kidney-impaired individuals had values that averaged only 50 ml/min., which means that their kidney function had already deteriorated by more than 50 percent.
