Global Warming Causes Kidney Stones
What? You didn’t know? I received an email of the South African Advisory Board Company’s Daily Briefing: from a doctor friend in Johannesburg. (Thanks, Anton) It’s a member’s-only professional website, but the blurb that caught my friends attention, (and now yours) was this one:
“New research suggests that the rising temperatures and increased dehydration associated with global warming will lead to higher rates of kidney stone disease in the United States, particularly among residents of southern states, according to a study published in last week’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences”
Melting polar caps, starving polar bears, tornadoes, floods, Sudanese genocidal mania and now, kidney stones!
