Today on Jimmy Makes Science Simple on the LLVLC Show, Jimmy shares the findings of a new study that debunks the myth that low-carb causes kidney damage.

“They started with heavily medicated people and throughout the study all of their renal health markers improved.”

In today’s episode, Jimmy presents a NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN episode of his show JIMMY MAKES SCIENCE SIMPLE (@jimmymakessciencesimple) to outline important new research he wanted you to know about. It’s a study published in the July 22, 2021 issue of Current Opinion In Endocrinology, Diabetes, And Obesity entitled “Renal function in patients following a low carbohydrate diet for type 2 diabetes: a review of the literature and analysis of routine clinical data from a primary care service over 7 years”: https://journals.lww.com/co-endocrinology/abstract/9000/renal_function_in_patients_following_a_low.99181.aspx

UK-based low-carb general practitioner and health researcher Dr. David Unwin and his research team wanted to examine the current evidence in the research literature regarding the impact of protein consumption on renal (kidney) function and disease progression and comparing it to what he has seen in his own clinic using low-carb diets for the past seven years. The common belief is that dietary protein negatively impacts the kidneys and leads to the progression of kidney disease. But what Dr. Unwin and his team found is a far different story for both renal function and cardiovascular disease. This is an IMPORTANT study that you will learn all about in this episode.
