Young kidney stones

The recent article in today's newspaper I have read is about Kidney stones. There is nothing kind about it. Children as young as 5 to 10 get these stones. How awful! Kidney stones are those our forefathers used to get when our uncles and aunts crossed their retirement age. This is something we must be seriously concerned. Children getting Kidney stones. But how?

The article says our lifestyle and food habits are the main reasons for this dreadful and painful disease. You just can't get away by saying our lifestyle is causing the disease. You have to give reasons. On further going forward the article says "...our salt consumption, lowered intake of milk, obesity and usage of antibiotics has doubled the chances of kidney stones." Despite such posing dangers we continue gulping the information and do the same thing. We just don't change our taste habits. It is an absolute no. Change now, don't wait for that scalpel.
