The National Institutes of Health is not Kaiser but is a governmental organization (NIH.gov) and is a far more prestigious organization for making recommendations, although Kaiser does excellent work especially in harvesting data from their patient population. This opinion piece was published in their in-house magazine.



This is absolutely NOT an opinion from the National Institutes of Health.

The lead author is a nephrologist who trained at a Caribbean medical school. His biography does not list any training in nutrition.

While these doctors may be right, they are not the NIH and do not represent the NIH nor even the opinion of Kaiser.

Son of a gun. Thank you blueash
