Plant-based diets have been successfully shown to slow or stop the progression of kidney failure, but what about all the phosphorus and potassium in plant foods? Subscribe to NutritionFacts.org's free e-newsletter and receive a recipe from Dr. Greger's brand-new cookbook, The How Not to Diet Cookbook: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ This is the last of an extended six-part video series on the latest science on diet and kidney health.

Too much phosphorus in the blood can also be a problem. Phosphate additives are something we should try to stay away from. See my three-part video series: • Phosphate Additives in Meat Purge and Cola (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/phosphate-additives-in-meat-purge-and-cola/) • Phosphate Additives in Chicken (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/phosphate-additives-in-chicken/) • How to Avoid Phosphate Additives (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-avoid-phosphate-additives/) Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video?

Dinosaur kale and red cabbage are put to the test. Kale is a best-of-all-worlds food, low in calories and packed to the hilt with nutrition—vitamins, minerals, anti-inflammatory compounds, antioxidant phytonutrients—you name it. One study had people eat a bag of frozen kale and cabbage a day for just two weeks and got “significant reductions” of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and even blood sugar levels. And, the antioxidant capacity of their blood went up.

Subscribe to NutritionFacts.org's free e-newsletter and receive a recipe from Dr. Greger's brand-new cookbook, The How Not to Diet Cookbook: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ DESCRIPTION: The foreign meat molecule Neu5Gc may not only contribute to the progression of cancer and heart disease by supplying inflammation, but also set children up for life-threatening reactions to E. coli toxins originating in the same animal products. This is the final installment of my video series that started with Cancer as an Autoimmune Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-as-an-autoimmune-disease/), the mystery for which may have been solved with How Tumors Use Meat to Grow: Xeno-Autoantibodies (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-tumors-use-meat-to-grow-xeno-autoantibodies/). Neu5Gc may also play a role in heart disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nonhuman-molecules-lining-our-arteries/) and inflammatory arthritis (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-inflammatory-meat-molecule-neu5gc/), but this understanding requires some background on how our immune systems work. This is explained in Clonal Selection Theory of Immunity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/clonal-selection-theory-of-immunity/) and Clonal Deletion Theory of Immunity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/clonal-deletion-theory-of-immunity/). For more on E. coli, see Fecal Bacteria Survey (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fecal-bacteria-survey/) and Chicken Out of UTIS (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/chicken-out-of-utis/).
