I briefly address kidney health in Preventing Kidney Failure Through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-kidney-failure-through-diet/) and Treating Kidney Failure Through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-kidney-failure-through-diet/), but have a whole series of more in-depth videos like this one dealing with various kidney issues. <
More on the fascinating nitrate/nitrite story in my 17-part series about improving athletic performance with nitrate-rich vegetables such as beets and arugula. Here are a few short highlights:
• Vegetables Rate by Nitrate (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vegetables-rate-by-nitrate/)
• Is Bacon Good or Is Spinach Bad? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-bacon-good-or-is-spinach-bad/)
• When Nitrites Go Bad (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/when-nitrites-go-bad/)
• Bacon and Botulism (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bacon-and-botulism/)
• Prevention Is Better Than Cured Meat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prevention-is-better-than-cured-meat/)
More on carcinogens caused by cooking meat in videos like:
• Meat Fumes: Dietary Secondhand Smoke (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/meat-fumes-dietary-secondhand-smoke/)
• Estrogenic Cooked Meat Carcinogens (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/estrogenic-cooked-meat-carcinogens/)

Thanks Dr. Greger!
Meat now days, like fish, are highly contaminated with toxins so more of a reason to dramatically reduce or totally prevent the consumption of these foods.
So many smart and difficult words here… thankfully I don't need to worry – I'm a VEGAN boy, so my chances of getting kidney cancer are very small. Thank you Dr Greger for another incredibly informative video. You da man!
You are such a great teacher, Dr. G. — taking a very complex process and breaking it down so us non-medical types can understand the basics. Thanks so much and Happy Holidays!
I shudder to think of how many hot dogs I used to eat. And I used to think I was being healthy because they had less fat than the hamburgers.
So, does this mean that vegan hot dogs are okay as far as nitrite/nitrates go? I assume so as it would be all plantbased even if it had it in it. Not that they're healthy per se, but not as bad I'd assume.
Ha ha! Take that meat and dairy eaters! Thanks Doc!
Fermented vegetables are highly touted as beneficial. With this information at hand regarding fermented celery juice it would stand to reason that it probably should be avoided…but is this true for all fermented veggie's?
aww there goes my salt- thought it was ok with 107 / 67 blood pressure
Thank you Dr. Greger for creating these informative videos, they are much appreciated!
Damn! I wish everyone would read information like this.
Meat eaters remind me of a time when my dad told me, when he was younger, people thought that "smoking causing cancer" was a myth. It's the same verdict with todays society. Meat is a well known source for causes all sorts of disease. Hopefully, people aren't so stubborn in the near future.
"Until now….."
The nitrites added to “uncured” meat using fermented celery juice appear just as carcinogenic.

"We didn't know – until now". I love Dr Greger's catchphrase! 🙂

Why do some people say that the ketogenic diet cures cancer and some people say that a vegetarian diet cures cancer, while a third group are promoting a fruit only diet?
I love this channel!
