To be fair, the study shows accelerated kidney damage at the limit
of statistical significance (just enough correlation to say there's
correlation); they suspect but don't demonstrate causation, although
of course the future kidney damage can't cause someone to go on a
high-protein diet. Also the Atkins diet is supposedly high-fat but
not high-protein, although the Atkins company says it's high-protein.
