However, just because scientists have not definitively shown a correlation between charred red meat and cancer or high protein and kidney failure, it does not mean there is not correlation. Remember, during the first half of the 20th century, there was no definitive proof that smoking caused lung cancer. Charred red meat contains a lot of harmful oxidative compounds and should be limited (not restricted, because it's delicious). Definitely try to avoid the burnt meat, and limit red meat as a rule. There are many theories as to how high protein intake induces kidney failure. There is, in fact, a strong correlation between high protein intake and kidney damage. Because I consume a lot of protein, I also drink a lot of water to lower its concentration in my glomerular filtrate and decrease its chances of reacting harmfully with the glomerular itself and the rest of the nephron. Good article. Just wanted to clear up a few things I am a medical student at a top tier university. Debunking myths is great, and I totally agree with you about corn syrup, potatoes, and salt.

My bionutrition professor says this is one reason why HFC is worse than regular sugars. School professors tend to be very "by the book" and not always up to date on things, so just wondering your thoughts in this. Thanks!!!

Debatable on red meat though, even though I eat a lot of it myself. One recent study however has linked red meat consumption to cancer.
