Product Description
*From Research to Kitchen Application* Food, Fuel, Fitness, Healthy Living with Food Demineralization, 2nd Edition, was updated with a larger selection of foods, especially designed to fit a broader global audience of individuals who must, for the sake of their health, control the amounts of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus in their diets. Today, more then 20 million Americans and over 200 million worldwide, are afflicted with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), at least 40% of whom are diabetics. In many, CKD will progress to End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and the need for dialysis. More than 350,000 in the U.S. and one million globally have already been forced into an endless cycle of dialysis just to stay alive. Traditionally, those with failing kidneys are told to severely restrict the numbers and the amounts of foods containing substantial amounts of sodium, potassium and/or phosphorus in attempts to avert potentially life-threatening mineral imbalances. Such restrictions often lead to a chronic state of malnutrition, anemia, and weight loss. Food, Fuel, Fitness offers the reader a genuine opportunity to positively impact their nutritional profile and health, with user-friendly instructions and exciting recipe "starter" ideas. The first edition of Food, Fuel, Fitness, was evaluate in a small cross-country study with ESRD patients. The study, funded in part through an American Dietetic Association, Renal Practice Group grant, looked at the acceptance and success of practicing at-home food mineral reduction. Study results showed that 92% of participants were able to achieved measurable mineral reduction through the use of these self-help instructions.

 Very helpful December 18, 2008

I purchased this book to assist my mother. She is in the early stages of renal failure. The techniques are very easy to follow, and thanks to the techniques, along with following a low potassium diet, her renal stats have improved. Highly recommend !
 Really good, so far September 26, 2007

I give this book 4 stars so far. My mom was hospitalized 2 weeks ago with kidney failure and must reduce her potassium. The book arrived today, and I was able to tell her how to take most of the K out of potatoes (86-95% reduction depending on type), which she has been missing mightily.
The main demineralization method is to slice foods thinly, soak, discard water, cook the food, discard the water. We will have to see how it does (in flavor) for things like cheese (soak cheese in water?) But it's sure worth a try if it lets her eat food she loves and gives her back some flavor.
It may also be a useful book for relatives of kidney patients, in whom kidney disease is underdiagnosed.
A 'MUST' for anyone who must reduce salt or other minerals January 19, 2007

When excess food minerals must be reduced, this book shows you how to do it without reducing portion size.
This book should be the Number One book for all dialysis dietitians and nutritional professionals who are dealing with people who need to control potassium, phosphorus, or sodium in their diet.
