It’s a doc who runs a website called nutritionfacts.org
He reads medical/nutrition studies and condenses them into short videos so that the rest of us can see what the studies are saying. The one I posted to you happens to be a rare longer video.
The site was useful to me because those studies basically end up at the same place as the diet that is prescribed for nephrotic syndrome. Meat proteins provoke hyperfiltration in kidneys and can damage them. Substituting vegetable protein when possible is part of the regimen.
Meat proteins and fats provoke an inflammatory response that can be measured in the blood. That low grade inflammation is connected to high rates of cardiovascular disease and cancer. And probably the neuro diseases that afflict the elderly.
That is very interesting. My body needs animal protein to stop actual hunger. Not too much of it. I’ve tried beans and peanuts but they don’t work, too many carbs. Eggs are the best result for me, the most filling satisfying food. How are eggs on the kidneys?
Just a couple of weeks ago, I’ve started making recipes with tofu. No fakey fakey meat, just chunks of tofu as the protein in an Asian style dish. And it is working for me. Just like meat. Now I want some every week. The best is the one I did with gochugang (sp?), that Korean sauce. Mmmmmmmm. A bowl of rice covered with different veggies, tofu, that sauce, a bit of hard boiled egg.
