This is the second video of a two-part series about the latest discoveries on kidney function and food. See also Preventing Kidney Failure Through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-kidney-failure-through-diet/).

In addition, plant based diets can help Prevent (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-prevent-diabetes/) and Treat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-treat-diabetes/) diabetes, Prevent (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-copd-with-diet/) and Treat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-copd-with-diet/) COPD, Prevent (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-arthritis-2/) and Treat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/diet-rheumatoid-arthritis/) arthritis, Prevent (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vegetarians-versus-healthy-omnivores/) and Treat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-reversal-through-diet/) cancer, Prevent (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/heart-attacks-and-cholesterol-purely-a-question-of-diet/) and Treat (http://nutritionfacts.org/blog/2011/10/14/heart-disease-there-is-a-cure/) heart disease, and obesity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/thousands-of-vegans-studied/).
