Meats May Contain Additives Harmful to Kidney Patients

Uncooked meat products enhanced with food additives may contain high levels of phosphorous and potassium that food labels don't include, according to a study appearing in an upcoming issue of the Clinical Journal of the American Society Nephrology.

This can make it difficult for people to limit dietary phosphorous and potassium that harm kidney disease patients at high levels.

Kidney disease patients on dialysis must watch their intake of dietary phosphate so their blood phosphate levels do not rise. High phosphate levels, as well as potassium levels, can kill them. MORE>>>>>>

Formula 2 Driver Henry Surtees Killed In Freak Crash At Brands Hatch: Video

Formula 2 driver Henry Surtees was killed on Sunday in a crash at Brands Hatch in England. While there have been many incidents where drivers have been killed during a race, this one is particularly shocking.

The car driven by Jack Clarke lost control in a turn and hit a wall. A tire came loose from his car and bounced across the track. In a freak bit of horrific timing, the tire hit Henry Surtees in the head. He was immediately knocked unconscious and drove straight through the next turn with his foot still on the accelerator. He was taken to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

Henry Surtees was the son of 1964 Formula One World Champion John Surtees. Just 18 years old, he was just beginning his move up through the racing ranks, reaching the podium for the first time in Formula 2 on Saturday. Perhaps F1 could have been in his future. Sadly, we will never know.

The video below shows the broadcast footage of the crash. Obviously, since we are dealing with a deadly accident, viewer discretion is advised.
