Alkaline Diets Reduce Risk of Kidney Failure
Low acid diets that emphasize alkaline fruits and vegetables have gained attention in the diet of the day world, but critics cited a lack of scientific evidence. The evidence is growing that low acid diets may indeed have significant merit for kidney health. An estimated 26 million people in the United States have chronic kidney disease (CKD), and diet could play a dramatic role in preventing kidney failure and subsequent reliance on dialysis. A new study, in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology(JASN), shows that among patients with chronic kidney disease, consumption of high acid diets may increase the risk of kidney failure three fold over a low acid diet. The findings suggest that patients may want to limit their intake of meats and increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables to help protect their kidneys.
