A friend of mine recently went through a horrific kidney stone experience. First question I asked: "how can I prevent that from happening to me?!?!" Besides drinking 10 glasses of water each day and eating potassium and magnesium-rich foods, the other advice is to avoid animal products. Granted, a certain type of kidney stone can be avoided by eating less of some vegetables and beans, but it's generally agreed that meat, dairy, sugar, and caffeine (diuretic) increase the likelihood of kidney stones.
