This is part of an extended new series of videos on kidney health:
• Preventing Kidney Failure through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-kidney-failure-through-diet/)
• Treating Kidney Failure through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-kidney-failure-through-diet/)
• Can Diet Protect against Kidney Cancer? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/can-diet-protect-against-kidney-cancer/)
• How to Prevent Kidney Stones with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-prevent-didney-stones-with-diet)

I’ve compared plant and animal protein in a variety of ways. See, for example, 
• Methionine Restriction as a Life Extension Strategy (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/methionine-restriction-as-a-life-extension-strategy/)
• Prostate Cancer Survival: The A/V Ratio (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prostate-cancer-survival-the-av-ratio/)
• Caloric Restriction vs. Animal Protein Restriction (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/caloric-restriction-vs-animal-protein-restriction/)

And perhaps the most dramatic demonstration was the new study I featured in my latest live annual presentation Food as Medicine: Preventing and Treating the Most Dreaded Diseases with Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-as-medicine). I’m working that into a new video that goes into greater depth—stay tuned!

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-type-of-protein-is-better-for-our-kidneys and he'll try to answer it!
