Acid levels in the diet could have profound effect on kidney health
American Society of Nephrology via EurekAlert!
Three new studies suggest that controlling dietary acid intake could help improve kidney health.
A diet rich in wheat flour and animal protein produces an acidic environment in the body that worsens with age as kidney function declines. This acid load can be detrimental to a variety of tissues and processes. Research suggests that consuming more fruits and vegetables — which are highly alkaline — may help counteract these effects.

Eating disorders more common in males than realized
Boston Children's Hospital via EurekAlert!
Parents and doctors assume eating disorders very rarely affect males. However, a study of 5,527 teenage males from across the U.S., published Nov. 4 in JAMA Pediatrics, challenges this belief. Boston Children's Hospital researchers found 17.9 percent of adolescent boys were extremely concerned about their weight and physique. These boys were more likely to start engaging in risky behaviors, including drug use and frequent binge drinking.
