The kidneys of those given diets which contained hemp protein compared with casein-based diets were less enlarged, had lower fluid content, smaller cyst volumes, less fibrosis, lower chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) levels and normalized serum creatinine level. Kidneys from diseased rats given pea protein compared with casein were more enlarged and had higher fluid content and cyst volumes, despite growing better and having lower serum creatinine and renal chemokine receptor 2 levels, and similar levels of renal fibrosis. So if you're going to eat some protein powder, hemp seems the way to go.

(They were functioning at 20 and 30% or so). She was very ill and eating was hard. Her specialist told her the last thing to do was to have protein powder. Said it was too hard on the kidneys. My husband is always saying I should put some into my smoothie (which I am drinking as I read this - banana, spinach, kale, zucchini, chia seeds, rice milk, water) but I refuse! I may send him the link to this post so he knows I am not making it up!

Crash diet/high protein/menopause was the issue. I LOVE smoothies, but keep them with the healthy supplements, low carb fruits and sparkling water.<br />LBJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795791180696109276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6873730561286963878.post-29802486609780579532016-08-30T21:15:02.112-04:002016-08-30T21:15:02.112-04:00Yes, wise words about foods in the healthy foods s...Yes, wise words about foods in the healthy foods section. For the longest time I considered gout an old man's disease, didn't really know what it was but thought it affected old men in their feet. Is that odd lol?? I love the texture of smoothies and could easily be an addict.<br /><br />CMurphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288455369911071072noreply@blogger.com
