@SamaHoole This! Oxalates are nothing to fool around with. I have had clients who have ended up precariously ill from oxalates. Beware.

@WellnessPowerTM Passing a kidney stone is a pain I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

@SamaHoole I only had to stop eating spinach to stop getting gout. The doctors wanted me to eat plenty of leafy green veg to prevent gout...

@Mattikake Same doctor probably thinks meat causes gout flareups.

@SamaHoole @grok is this true?

@SamaHoole Your numbers are off. The 755 mg figure is for a half cup cooked spinach per serving, not raw per 100 g. A typical smoothie with 1–2 cups raw spinach lands around 300–1,300 mg depending on the source, not automatically 2,000 mg. There’s no universal “safe limit” for everyone;

@SamaHoole There are probiotics that can break down oxalates. But I agree, lots of raw veggies is not a great idea for many. Some can handle though.

@SamaHoole Thank you. I am not big on smoothies, and I don't order them for the fact that the sugar you concentrate in them alone ends up with a giant crash at the end. The husband and I will go straight for a standard handful of something, or a banana or something particularly when we

@SamaHoole I poisoned myself with oxalates by juicing a whack of greens, including spinach, everyday. That was a few years ago and I'm still not over it.

@SamaHoole Now do “vitamin A” and how the excess is stored in the liver.

@SamaHoole Eat spinach

@SamaHoole I ate way too much almond butter, and dark chocolate for years and thought I had gout because my big toe was periodically painful, red and swollen. I learned about oxalates and detoxed. The white chalky oxalates literally shed out from my nail bed. Other signs and symptoms of OA

@SamaHoole Shedding oxalate takes long and looks like this if it goes through the kidneys. Kidney sand of about 1mm and smaller.

@SamaHoole Just say no to greens. Cancel Popeye.

@SamaHoole While your concerns regarding oxalate levels in spinach are valid, it's essential to consider the overall nutritional profile of this leafy green. Spinach is rich in vitamins A, C, K, and various minerals.

@SamaHoole Only people who are susceptible to kidney stones or who consume extreme quantities of high-oxalate foods without calcium are at risk. Oxalate doesn’t neutralize vitamins simply binds to some minerals (calcium and iron) and reduces their absorption. Also oxolate does t accumulate

@SamaHoole An 8 mm kidney stone lead me to the Carnivore life. I probably have one more stone to go because of the dump that occurred with my change in diet. Oxalates are the devil! Whew!

@SamaHoole Only Americans eat raw spinach. We have only ever eaten steamed or cooked in some way.

@SamaHoole Oxalates are reason I formulated an oxalate free nitrate product to increase Nitric Oxide Nitrate/Nitrite/NO pathway NO is essential for healthy circulation Most NO supplements have beets or spinach included I used arugula, which is highest conc of nitrate without oxalate ...

@SamaHoole Exactly!!! Sally K Norton helped me detox from oxalates years ago. I was getting crystals coming through skin during detox. It has made a huge difference in inflammation.

@SamaHoole True, spinach is very high in oxalates, and large amounts can raise kidney stone risk, especially if hydration or calcium intake is low. Moderation and pairing with calcium-rich foods make a big difference.

@SamaHoole Why are roid junkies always so concerned about what other people are putting in their bodies? Unless you have issues with kidney stones spinach perfectly healthy. Don't listen to online roided up idiots.

@SamaHoole I used to eat a raw spinach salad with about 2C of spinach every single day for like two solid years. 😭

@SamaHoole High oxalates add up fast. Hidden “health” foods aren’t always harmless.

@SamaHoole I buy that. I stopped spinach a year ago. But how to get whatever was good in it?

@SamaHoole Ask me how I know this is true? Yes, single most painful experience of my life.

@SamaHoole Spinach also has a high lead content. It pulls it out of the soil.

@SamaHoole I stopped eating most vegetables. I’ve never felt better. Steak & eggs for the win!

@SamaHoole Oxalate also bind to minerals and extracts them from your body; spinach is literally anti-nutrition lol SAME WITH OTHER HIGH OXALATE "SUPERFOODS"!

@SamaHoole 1. Healthy people can consume 200-300mg of OA free of deleterious effect 2. There is no broadly established safe daily limit 3. The 10% of people who may be oxalate sensitive should limit to 50mg 4. You can improve oxalate degradation 5. Who puts 200g spinach in a smoothie

@SamaHoole @Lynda_Research Offset with citrus. Put lemon juice in the smoothie.

@SamaHoole The only vitamins in plants are vitamin C and tiny amounts of B vitamins (much less than animal products) and fermented plants can have small amounts of K2 but only because of bacteria, not the plant itself. A raw sour cream can have more than 50x as much K2 as sauerkraut.

@SamaHoole Nope. Most people do not have an issue with this. Uric acid and meat is certainly an issue though. I know a lot of people that have had gout or kidney damage from eating too much meat.

@SamaHoole @grok is this factually correct?

@SamaHoole Red meat is carcinogenic. And by the way spinach, as I’m are all leafy greens great foods that naturally increase testosterone. If you ever get off estrogen Sam, you may want to look in to TRT to help with your visually low T.
