I haven't seen this program, but there has long been a belief that high protein causes kidney damage and high fat causes liver problems.
I've tried to find research on both and can't. In fact, the nurse's study, as well as several others, show that high fat/protein can make liver/kidney problems worse, but there is NO INDICATION that either causes damage to healthy organs.
I've seen so many articles on TV and read so many things in the news and on the internet, and there is very little truth to what is said. Many of these "reporters" haven't even read a book about nutrition or atkins or anything else. As for the nutritionists, they are parroting what they've been taught.
