I’m glad I don’t eat a lot of meat! But I do have to stop drinking cokes and sweet tea. Two years ago I got two kidney stones, they were very painful. I passed one, but I still might have one! My brother has high blood pressure problems, but he still eats what he wants. We tell him everyday it’s not good, he doesn’t listen. My dad has diabetes. Makes me worry about both of them after watching these videos.
I’m a vegetarian so i can relate to the not eating meat but I completely agree about the sweet tea. I LOVE me some sweet tea and not only will that cause the kidney stones but we know it’s got a lot of sugar which can also get diabetes and diabetes and kidney disease can happen once we have the other. I’ve been trying to not eat sweet tea at home as much and only order it when I’m out eating with the family. We’ll see how that works.
I did not realize tea was a cause factor in kidney stones. I would also assume that calcium and protein were good for you, but they also cause kidney stones.
Any age or race can develop kidney problems. The number one cause is from diabetes. I have had a urinary tract infection before and I was always told to drink cranberry juice to help get rid of it. i have never had kidney stones, but my friend did and she went through a lot of pain! I hope I never have to go through that!
These particular videos scare me. I see that I am at a high risk for developing diabetes as well as developing kidney disease due to my diet and lifestyle.
It is amazing that almost every problem or disease can be treated, possibly prevented or maybe reversed by the foods we eat. You would think knowing this would make us change our eating habits right away. Yes I know this would be hard but it would also be the best thing. Which there are just some foods that I like to eat way to much to think about giving them up!
These videos will make you stop and think. My aunt who has diabetes has developed kidney disease from being diabetic so long. And she also drinks a lot of diet coke. She has had a kidney transplant already. I drink a lot of water and always have so I hope I never have any issues.
I have started trying to eat healthier. I need to stop drinking cokes though. I did not know the main cause of kidney disease is diabetes. My brother’s girlfriend had kidney stones and had to have surgery to remove them. They are very painful, I will definitely be drinking more water!!
I have never really been a soda or tea drinker because i use to always get uti and had a kidney infection after i had my second child made some changes now im as healthy and have not had a uti in years.
it wasnt hard for me to quit drinking cokes after the day i got my first kidney stone. i realy do need to stop eating so much meat i eat alot of meat thorughout the day i will def watch what i eat now
I learned alot about kidney disease from this video. A lot of people I know have had excruciating kidney stones. I drink way too many carbonated drinks and am trying to slow back before I get them.
As the kidney is the filter station in the body, we can assume that kidney is the most important organ in the human body. So we must be very careful about every activity involved this area. Couple years ago, I had had acetone but it was small that my doctor advised me to drink a lot of water(5 litres/day). It was very painful, i hope i will not have it anymore.
Yes, I consider the kidneys to be one of the most important organs in the body. I had no idea that tea caused a higher increase of kidney stones….I drink the mess out of tea, maybe I should lay off a bit. I would hate to have to go through pain like you did.
Diabetes and hypertension are the leading causes for kidney disease. We should all eat a diet that will help lower out hypertension in order to keep our kidneys healthy.
One thing I had never heard was that tea could increase your chance of kidney stones.
Kidney stones,AHHHHHHH. never had one dont want one, i would cry like a little girl, cranberries are reallly helpful with the item in it that coats the ureters and helps prevent bacterial adhesion, Tea really, didint know that one. interesting always learn something new!!
I did not know younger kids were at risk for get kidney disease, it was linked to Diabetes, or that ethnicity played a role. Wish we could of seen a healthy kidney vs a kidney with kidney disease. Glad to hear there are food professionals available to help people cope with this disease.
I would say that the Kidneys are the most important organ in the body do to it acts as the filter of your blood! So Kidney disease seems to be the worst possible disease to me. I Feel sorry for anyone who has any kidney problems at all.
My boss’ daughter just had a kidney infection that turned into sepsis, which is a condition where a severe illness occurs due to bacteria taking over the blood stream causing organs to start shutting down. This is because the kidneys aren’t able to filter out all the good and bad toxins. Proof that kidney disease can happen to anyone. She is a healthy 12 year old girl!
my mother has diabetes and it scares me to know that if she doesnt maintain a healthy diet she might have to deal with kidney disease. This video made me realize that i have to help her out to maintain that healthy diet since i have more knowledge about this then she does.
It is amazing, me included, that we do not eat right and torture our body. In the US we have the ability to eat what we want. We choose to do just that too without regard to what we are doing to our body’s. I have had kidney stones in the past. The urologist told me basically that the type I had were caused by drinking too much tea. I currently do not drink very much tea only because the stones hurt so bad. Many of the causes of kidney disease are silent killers they don’t hurt until its to late, but we don’t change our ways because its not immediately hurting us.
Diabetes and kidney disease is so common today that you would think people would take notice and try harder to live a healthy lifestyle. The ethnic group that have such a high risk should be leading the fight against this disease but i’m not seeing it happen. I have a habit of looking at peoples grocery carts when i’m waiting in line. It is shocking when you start recognizing the volume of junk food the average people live on.
We all need to take care of ourselves there is so many things that can happen!! I’ve known many people with kidney stones, they say its just like giving birth or worse passing the kidney stone!! My papa just recently had one for like three weeks that he could never pass so he ended up going to the hospital.

It is amazing that it doesn’t effect just one age group or ethnic group. Hypertension and geneic dieases are common reasons for kidney diease. Dialisis is very interesting to me. In it so cool how these patients can survive so much longer with this type of treatment.
I grew up in South Texas, but never got into the whole tea drinking thing. I am trying to cut out diet coke though, and increase my water intake instead. I didn’t realize that cranberry juice is good to filter the kidneys, but I guess I could have put two and two together since cranberry juice helps with urinary infections.
I cant go a day wothout sweet tea. I drink almost a gallon a day by myself. Not to mention the cokes i drink while at work. I need to really increase my water intake and cut outsweet drinks.
My mom is actually a Nurse Practitioner for patients in renal failure (kidney disease). Kidney diease is a life-altering disease because not only do you have to change what you eat, or your exercise habits, but if you’re at the stage where you need dialysis you have to go to the clinic usually 3 days a week for several hours each day. I can imagine that for some people these would be rather difficult changes to make in health and routine.
I was really surprised by the tea and kidney stone connection. This after all the hype about drinking green teas and even black teas being good for you. I prefer tea over soda, but I still don’t really drink much of either. I have heard of drinking cranberry juice being good for flushing the system and infection prevention/clearing.
I am a very big tea drinking and I didn’t realize the link between tea and kidney stones. Kidney problems can occur for a variety of reasons so why do we put things into our bodies that will help all of these disease processes along?
I was suprised to hear that tea could cause kidney stones, and on the opposite side. I was unaware that magnesim and B6 could prevent kidney stones. It is amazing that our body filters would operate more efficienantly if we would just drink more water and less sodas and tea.
All I have to say is I pray hard that I never get a kidney stone because I am a Coke Zero and Diet Coke fanatic! Guess I should start taking a B6 or magnesium supplement.
Last year at work we would all go to Mcdonalds and get the Large sweet tea..Cant wait to tell my coworkers..All we drink is Sweet Tea, coffee and Sodas..People nowadays go crazy without caffeine..Me being one of them..I knew it wasnt the best for you..I need to drink some water quick fast and in a hurry.

I do but after watching those videos i probably am going to have to cut down on my intake.
I drink a lot of soda too mostly out of convenience. I’ve heard soda is bad for your teeth too because of the acidity of it.
I’m a vegetarian so i can relate to the not eating meat but I completely agree about the sweet tea. I LOVE me some sweet tea and not only will that cause the kidney stones but we know it’s got a lot of sugar which can also get diabetes and diabetes and kidney disease can happen once we have the other.
