Her joints—knees, elbows, wrists, and shoulders—swell violently, locking her in cycles of immobilizing pain.

Truth About Kidney Health and Gout

People who are emotionally invested in avoiding protein often state that protein damages the kidneys, particularly when that protein comes from animals. Where did this theory come from?

The Red Meat Cancer Risk Doesn’t Add Up

Some researchers have said that red meat leads to colon cancer.
