Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
A large number of processed foods contain genetically modified organisms, aka GMOs. Due to the lack of studies, the long-term health effects of GMO crops on humans are unknown. However, studies on animals show that serious health effects are related to GMOs. This includes changes in organs like the kidneys. While it’s almost impossible to avoid all these foods, it’s advised that people eat a wide variety of fresh, healthy foods, with processed foods in moderation.

Peanuts
Peanuts have oxalates which are a type of mineral found in kidney stones. In fact, calcium oxalate kidney stones are the main type of kidney stones according to the National Kidney Foundation. If you’ve had that kind of kidney stone in the past, you should limit your intake of food that contains oxalates in order to reduce your risk of developing another stone.
