Concerns regarding protein and amino acid deficiencies with plant-based proteins have precluded their use in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Many of these concerns were debunked years ago, but recommendations persist regarding the use of "high-biological value" (animal-based) proteins in CKD...
including a lowered risk of heart issues and certain cancers, plant-based diets have become the talk of the town. However, the connection between plant protein intake and the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has remained a bit murky. ...
Patients with kidney stones are counseled to eat a diet low in animal protein, sodium, and oxalate and rich in fruits and vegetables, as well as a modest amount of calcium, usually from dairy.1,2 Recently, plant-based diets have gained popularity; the US nondairy milk market grew by 50...
Plant-based diets have low net endogenous acid load, which could mitigate metabolic acidosis in patients with CKD and potentially slow the progression of kidney disease. Plant phosphorus is bound to phytate and is less bioavailable than animal phosphorus; consequently, many plant-based foods have a ...

It has also been demonstrated how important the full function of the liver and kidneys is in diabetes prevention. Both organs play a major role in people who already have diabetes. “However, our research has now shown that a healthy plant-based diet can improve liver and kidney function...
Protein AND… (i.e. iron, healthy fats, magnesium, etc.) Just as many plant-based proteins are bringing fiber to the table, they also pack a punch when it comes to other essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Nuts and seeds bring healthy fats and inflammation-fighting omega-3’s, ...
and performance of plant-based meat would be greatly advanced by implementing environmentally friendly methods for protein conditioning, which increase the desirable functional traits of a protein, such as gelation capacity, solubility, and fat adsorption. Moreover, the idea of processing plants into ...
This review first briefly compared plant-based proteins with animal proteins regarding their health and environmental benefits, amino acid composition, and protein digestibility. As one of the most popular plant proteins, soy protein was introduced, and its byproducts-making processes (heat processing,...
Swapping animal protein for plant-based dinner may reduce CV risk by 10% Adults who substitute low-quality carbohydrate or animal protein at dinner with high-quality carbohydrate or plant protein could reduce cardiovascular disease risk by as much as 10%, according to an analysis of survey data....
