  4. Thanks for posting the video Leslie, I was a little confused on the kidneys and the whole excretory system thing, but it helped me understand the kidneys a little better. Can you post more animations like that?
    Thanks again!

  10. Radhika, i think that it is because of an overdose of too much toxin like how fats and alcohol affect the liver. As they say, "Never have too much of a good thing". I'm not saying alcohol and fats are good. Just get my point.
    And the song was great too!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqhvmUEdOYY
