Read that colas are bad for kidneys - that's a tough one, as I love my daily diet coke.
Also bananas, avocados and oranges are not good - too much potassium. - That surprised me, as I always thought they were good for you.
I knew salt was not good - I never add salt to anything but do get whatever is in prepared food.
Dairy is problematic, so I can switch to almond or rice milk.
Apparently cheese is also not good - oh my. - the choices are narrowing.
Grapes, apples, blueberries are good, and cranberries.
Sausage meats,- no; no bacon. Oh my.
Whole wheat bread no preferred.

Many items I thought were good for people are no longer right for me....
