 But there are old things passed down that are repeated, but have never been proven. Like a protein diet will hurt your kidneys. If you have existing kidney disease, yes that's a problem. If you have healthy kidneys, and are adequately hydrated, it's no problem. There has been no studies ever that have conclusively linked fat and protein to causing new kidney disease. It's one of the big scare tactics used by the egotistical idiots that created our US Policy Food Pyramid.

It is not a myth. I pointed out in my other post is that a primary cause of kidney disease is high protein intake with insufficient water intake. And you are saying the same exact thing. To say that the high protein is not a contributing problem is like saying that cigarettes do not cause cancer because someone who smokes but takes a lot a C and other antioxidants does not get cancer.

There is a section on uric acid and kidney disease in this article:

And a study on uric acid levels causing new onset kidney disease:
