In this video, Dr. Berg talks about the nuts that have the lowest amounts of oxalates. This is important for people who are susceptible to getting kidney stones.
Oxalates are the chemical compound in certain foods that combine with calcium and create a lot of irritation in the kidney, joints, and other tissues in the body which causes to form kidney stones.

Finally, a video on oxalates. Very important for those of us who suffer from kidney stones.
Drink more water.
@@MOAB-UT Dilution is not the Solution to the Pollution.... Check out this topic by EO Nutrition and Sally Norton.
@@lindabirmingham603 Nothing to do with dilution. Water is needed to complete numerous processes and functions in the. Adequate hydration is not over hydration. I also add a pinch of pink salt to my water so I retain the fluids and minerals more. Not my first rodeo, but thanks for sharing your opinion. How is your health BTW? Mine is pretty good. BMI21 BP 105/75- good numbers all around and lots of energy.
@@MOAB-UT I am healthy and have not had a problem with stones, although have a long history of fibromyalgia. After watching the videos by EO Nutrition and Sally Norton I was shocked to see how many oxalates I have been consuming. Almond flour biscuits, almond butter, spinach, broccoli, etc. Pretty sure oxalate dumping is why I get so itchy when I fast or eat a more carnivore diet. I am wondering if the oxalates have also contributed to fibromyalgia and irritable bladder symptoms, especially after reading the comments under the videos.
@@lindabirmingham603 I have a lot of respect for Sally- very smart woman. I am glad you are limiting oxalates. I eat Walnuts now and limit almonds. I have eliminated spinach and dark chocolate after the news of heavy metals.
Regarding your issue, I highly suspect leaky gut. I just read The Plant Paradox. I learned that the protective barrier in your gut is only 1 cell thick- that's it. When we damage that for whatever reason (oxalates being only one, drugs, even NSAID's, Soda, etc., being others), we can suffer all kinds of auto-immune issues. Docs love their labels. They labelled you with Fibro. That is a cop out. It means, they have no clue so they use a catch all phrase...and likely put you on...wait for it...DRUGS that exacerbate your issues. Do you eat KIMCHI daily (probiotic)? Do you consume MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE daily? With your D, do you take K2? I don't do dairy, soy, almonds, spinach, no whole grains, no seed oil, no sugar, etc. I drink...water. These are a few of the tricks I have discovered along my health journey. It is working out very well for me. I think you can solve your own health issues. If it were me, I would skip ALL DRUGS. I would, and have used nutrition and exercise to heal (two major issues.) I bet you can too.
😱😱😱I just started learning about oxalates, my grandmother always had kidney stones, she eventually died from cancer in her kidneys. She always ate vegetables such as legumes and spinaches because she thought they were healthy, turns out they are exactly the reasons why she died in the first place😱😱😱I have to look more into this because I also consume high oxalate foods daily like nuts and spinaches and I have low calcium levels😱😱
The foods themselves aren’t unhealthy. They just aren’t good in excess. Just like all things (including water). Some people just have to have less oxalate based on their body and the health issues they already have.
@@IAmHisBeloved5 yeah, the doctors should have told her not to eat oxalates, instead she ate so many vegetables exactly because the doctors told her so 😱
Did she eat the spinach raw ?
@@jenniferibarra7737 both ways
Thank you for talking about this. Some people just don't know the dangers of eating a high oxyolate diet. Not just kidney stones, but all kinds of very painful conditions you can get.
You drink Lemon water everyday. You will have no problems. I've been plant based for 26 years. Not a problem. Im thriving.
I remember decades ago being rushed to the hospital in extreme pain from appendicitis. In the ER there was an older gentleman in the bed next to mine, obviously with much more pain than I had. I asked the nurse what it was, and she said, kidney stones.
Two bouts of them and I can attest to the pain.
I have had both. Many stones, they are 100-1000 times more painful, and the pain moves from the back/kidney towards its exit. And you feel every bit of it. Can be excruciating, nauseating and sharp at different stages and can take weeks to pass.
- Combining nuts with calcium-rich foods like cheese can reduce oxalate absorption.
- Consuming lemon juice, potassium citrate, or calcium citrate can help lower the binding effect of oxalates.
Can we eat it with yoghurt?
Where did ypu obtain this insight?
Take magnesium and will help to avoid the kidney stone formation, citrate form
Potassium citrate has really helped me with my kidney stone problem .
Thanks! Peanuts and cashews are legumes, not nuts, and potassium citrate (2 g) with every meal takes care of the oxalates.
can you make a video on the difference between nuts and legumes?
I have interstitial cystitis (IC) and after seeing several urologists and being exposed to painful tests and awful meds that put me in a coma I discovered the cause of my IC, oxalates! I did a elimination diet and I lived on green smoothies made with leafy greens and almond milk, buckwheat pancakes and chicken. I happened to pick the highest oxalate foods (not the chicken.) I was never worse in my life!! It nearly killed me but I discovered the problem. I cured it right away with a low oxalate diet. I wish I would have known years ago. Not one doctor or urologist mentioned or asked me about oxalates. I had been suffering for 20 years. It comes right back if drink almond milk, eat almond flour, have too much salad or nuts. I cook kale and spinach to reduce oxalates. I hadn’t heard that about cheese. Thanks so much!
It is also Prelief available at Amazon for this problem,my OBG recommended,but idid not try yet just elimination is working too
Its like almost everything we eat are unhealthy in some ways...😕🙈 so the best thing is, dont eat!😀
🤣🤣🤣😁yesss true🤦🏻♀️😭
True.. Just survive on Air and Water 😭
Even the air is polluted and water contaminated 😡
Yes it’s getting to be that way!!
Last week I borrowed the book "the carnivore code" (Saladino). I'm seriously edging toward "carnivorish" now especially after having suffered two recent bouts of oxalates kidney stones. Not nice at all.
@@mukherjiradhika85 🤣
Fasting usually gives me kidney stones. When a stone is really bothering me, I get on an inversion table for 10-15 minutes. I'll hang upside down, and move around until the stone shifts enough. I also supplement with Hydroxycitrate and Chanca Piedra (aka Stone Breaker).
I just put my husband on those two for kidney stones a month ago. You have had good results? How long have you used them?
@@judyevans6074 I've been doing it for about 4 years. I don't take them everyday. I only take the supplements when I feel mild stone pain (3 times a day for it to work properly). For severe pain, I swear by the inversion table. Especially when it's the middle of the night and pain is keeping me awake. The inversion table is the only thing that'll jar the stone loose and break it up. I originally bought the table for lower back pain, and inadvertently found out it helps with stones.
Stone Breaker is a life saver! I'm going to get another inversion table. We had one before we moved across the country. Kicking myself for getting rid of it. 😩
"1:22" -- "To minimize the damage....nuts and cheese together...."; "lemon juice" ("1:50"); "potassium citrate"; or "calcium citrate."
In another video of his, a video about what to do if experiencing a kidney stone attack, Dr. Berg mentions a remedy for removing kidneys stones, a remedy named Hydroxy-citrate (Solgar brand featured).
Love how you explain what food does to the body. It’s not only about “the diet”. The Physiologist in me loves this channel. 😍
So what else is it about then Jacque?
In everything MODERATION is the key
How about the Brazilian Nuts?
Soak them in salt water for 8 hours.
Very high in oxalates. Similar to almonds
Is there a way to know if you are susceptible to kidney stones if you haven't had one?
I found out through genetic testing. Had my raw data read. It will show a variety of problematic pathways. If you don't want that venue, one clue may be joints that ache and fatigue. The oxalate crystals actually "ding" the cells in our system which damages them. If you are not sure, Dr. Berg gave the best advice and that is to pop a couple of magnesium citrate. They are very inexpensive.
@@delaville680 yeah I use magnesium and potassium citrate. Thanks for the reply.
There's a genetic predisposition. If you're parent had issues you may be susceptible. Not knowing how old you are, but sometimes it doesn't even happen til 30's and older.
@@Veronica.John10-10 my dad has had a few times. I'm 35 now. But I'm using the supplements and will cut back on the almonds.
Typically when you have a carbohydrate based diet, you are much more susceptible because your body is creating toxic high levels of insulin which creates the environment to have them.
How about sunflower seeds Dr????
Thanks, please do more on alternative I don't have kidney issues but learned keto people OD on oxalates so best to understand they can cause issues
easy to do .. I have been limiting consumption based on carbs first, then oxalates second. (pistachios are high carb).
so would rank them as macadamia, then pecan .. and walnuts. remembering that all these nuts are very hard to crack open.
nature did that for a reason to keep consumption low …
Oxalates also contribute to chronic UTI's or Interstitial Cystitis. Finally getting the pain of this nasty syndrome under control from cutting back on high-oxalate foods. Hope that helps someone because IC is so miserable.
I have ic also and have done low oxalate for one year . I believe it has helped . Be aware you might have nasty detox symptoms cutting back on oxalate but it passes .
@@michellek8631 Prelief antacid has helped me even more than the low oxalate diet. That stuff is a gamechanger, i take it every day.
Thank you Dr. Berg for another informative video as I'm suffering my 2nd major episode of kidney stones and I love nuts especially almonds. I will now try pistachios or macadamia nuts with cheese. Thanks again 🙂👍
How about Brazil nuts Dr Berg?
Brazil nuts are GREAT but they have SO MUCH SELENIUM in them that you only really need like 1 or 2 Brazil nuts per day.
I still snack on a Brazil nut here and there as part of my mixed nuts at my lunches, but shouldnt need to have them every meal.
So if you keep that in mind, the oxalate content of Brazil nuts won’t be enough to contribute to kidney stones if you incorporate them one or two at a time with a few of the other nuts he mentioned like Pistachios and some Walnuts!
very high in oxalates so limit to no more than 1 or 2 a day
That's the tricky part. I can't drink regular milk, so i switched to almond milk with no sugar. But it's the highest in oxalate, which gave me kidney stone.
The only other alternative is coconut milk but it's high in fat, so what's left.
Can everyone agree that Dr. Berg deserves a noble prize, or be in the running for one. I believe Einstein said " s genius is someone who has a mastery of something, and can simply explain it to anyone". Dr. Berg took nutrition & health, broke it down, so even the most ignorant ( lack of knowledge ) of us can make better choices with our health.
This is so true. I completely agree. Dr. Berg should deserve even a Noble Prize. He has saved and continues to do so hundreads of lifes if someone is willing to listen and educate just a little bit himself/herself. There is number of great doctors but the way Dr. Berg explains already deserves a prize.❤
Does magnesium citrate helps? or it has to be potassium citrate or calcium citrate? Thank you so much!
Does almond flour apply? And also what can we drink daily to lower or break up things that cause kidney stones? I heard Apple Cider
Almond vapor, solid, powder, liquid form ...is still almond!
ACV, Lemon juice
CellBotics Training yes since it’s still almond and i agree with apple cider vinegar and lemon juice
Almond flour is merely ground up almonds. Lemon juice contains "citrates" which helps dissolve oxalates.
Always learn something new. I appreciate your dedication to helping people.
I love my yogurt , whole milk, and cheese! Its nuts!
God bless you for all the good you have done to humanity.
Take calcium and magnesium citrate. We did that for our son plus a low ox diet and probiotics
More expensive the nuts are lesser is the oxalate
ikr?
Cheers for the Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you considered - Bonackson Wandalyn Genie (search on google)? It is an awesome exclusive product for avoiding dialysis and improve kidney health minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cooworker at very last got astronomical success with it.
Peanuts are dirt cheap
cashews are the most expensive though
@@AliKanu Macadamia nuts are most expensive.
I had a friend susceptible to kidney stones. She swears by the benefit of an herb called Chanca Piedra (Stone Breaker). Watching a video, a saw a man who is susceptible to stones who takes this herb on a regular basis and is stone free. I do not have this problem but whenever I eat spinach I never have it raw and instead boil it....Boiling does help - I now boil sweet potatoes that also contains oxalates. That was a surprise.....
Yerba Mate is also great, plus you get a lift from it
Thanks for the Few Nuts Little Cheese connection.
I love Macadamia nuts but you might as well be purchasing gold. lol Pecans have gotten almost as bad. And as mentioned below/above I've heard that by removing the skins on Almonds you greatly reduce the oxalates? Not prone to stones myself however. Knock on wood!
fanclass0f76 I buy the blanched around flour. Good question!
@@bigjay1970 Big bag of what exactly? No local Costco here. Sam's Club however.
@@my-yt-inputs2580 "Big bag of what exactly?" 😂...(thanks for the laugh!)
Maybe sprouted almond flour would be good to use? Sprouting supposedly greatly reduces oxalates.
Does soaking almonds overnight and removing the outer skin reduce oxalates in almonds? This method is recommended in Ayurveda. I eat almonds and walnuts everyday. Pistachios and macadamia nuts are quite expensive.
@@Crepitom Soaking Legumes, seeds, nuts and even greens for on average 12 - 24 hours in water with either apple cider vinegar, salt, lemon will help remove some of the oxalic acid and phytates in those foods. Use a dehydrator or oven that can go at at 55 (celsius, go lower if possible) until try, any higher could risk destroying any of the vitamins in these foods.
@@ODIus1549 hmmm... just like soaking rice before cooking reduces the arsenic content in them..
I was waiting for this topic for a while. Thanks 😊
Macadamia nuts are my #1 go-to Keto snack. Like eating crunchy butter.
Absolutely...BIG TIP just be sure they are RAW not dry roasted or roasted...all the superfood quality is burned off
Rev_Logos crunchy butter! Perfect description. I always say it's smooth like butter. ❤️❤️❤️
I tried them for the first time in life 2 days ago. They are so rich. I ate half the bag that day then woke up and finished the other half. Expensive but good
Great video DR Berg! Does ACV help control Kidney StoneS?? Thanks again!
yes
Coffee too.
I went through some hellacious oxalate dumping mainly on my injured shoulder joint. Or the Oxalates are the ones that injured it not sure but I am very careful now. I Avoid wheat and white potatoes which is what I lived off of for 40 years no more! After starting keto three years ago took six months but the oxalate dumping started heavy
what foods did you regularly eat?
Is olive oil and black seed oil high in oxalates? Are these oils healthy for the kidneys? What about olive leaf tea?
Organic extra virgin olive oil is a recommended fat. Here is an article for you 👉 www.drberg.com/blog/good-fat-vs-bad-fats
Hi from Brazil! Thank you for all great informations in short videos.
@Anti Aging Tips & Secrets you are very wellcome!
Ugh, pistachios and macadamia are the most expensive nuts out there. 😣😣
I was going to say the same thing.
Pistachios net carb is quite high...
Perhaps I should just get the mixed bag of nuts lol but my favourite are salted beer nuts.
Zoe Wowiee - ha ha. Of course beer nuts are a legume (peanuts). But they really are good! They used to be better, I think they shifted sweetener.
I love peanuts
Thankful dr Berg ❤
One thing to remember is that it's the totals that matter, and that depends on how much you eat. I don't eat 100 grams of any of these nuts in a day (that's 3.5 ounces). I am likely to eat 14 grams at a time (that's half an ounce). Sometimes I only eat closer to 7 grams (1/4 ounce) of a particular nut. And I usually eat entirely vegan and have a huge collection of nuts and seeds.... But seriously, 14 grams of nuts is still a lot of nuts.
So you can eat the higher oxalate nuts as long as you don't eat gobs of them. You can eat smaller amounts in a day and rotate which nuts you eat each day, so you get the different benefits of each but also avoid the drawbacks. If oxalates are a problem, you can also make sure that you choose low oxalate ones for the rest of your nutty dietary needs in a particular day.
thank you for this!
Good luck with your denials
I just learned about oxalates a few days ago. I been eating mostly walnuts for the past 5 years. A couple years ago I started buying fresh almond butter from the grocery store. I eat large quantities too along with fresh dates. Well time to cut those out. Any idea what nuts are low in oxalates? Thanks
@@K-xb2qz- look at the chart shown at time 0:13. (13 minutes into the video, touch the screen and the scroll bar with time stamps should appear at the bottom of the screen.)
His chart indicates that macadamias, pistachios, pecans, and walnuts are relatively low in oxalates. But what really matters is how much you get in a day. So figure out how much you want total and work out how many nuts you can have of what kind from there.
Do you definitely have trouble with kidney stones? If so, have they been tested to see if they are oxalate stones? Do you have any special risk of getting oxalate stones? Remember, if it ain't broke - don't fix it.
@@K-xb2qz
Some phytic acid in the diet is necessary to suppress inflammation in the colon according to recent scientific studies.
Get it from healthy sources like kale, arugula, etc.
How do Hazelnuts rank ??
Could you make a video about food to avoid for acne? Or about whether nuts really aggravate acne
Walnuts i love❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What about hazel and Brasil nuts?
I discovered that even if i soak my wallnuts i still have some ""allergic"" reactions and inflamations, my nose gets stuff and inside swollen(polyps) and can't breath properly. Same thing happens if i over eat, i absolutly need to eat just the right amount of food, then the food becomes beneficial and my symptoms resolved, when i can pass a night breathing by my nose it's a good night. Most vegetables gives me bad symptoms, so i tried to avoid them, only a bit of boiled coliflower/brocoli and brussel sprouts do the job.
philip cardin - you are just allergic to something in the walnuts that doesn't change when soaked.
Have you tried black walnuts? They may cause the same reactions. But they might not. Every nut is different.
Also - have you tried rotating your foods so you don't eat the same thing every day? That can help with multiple food allergies. Look for
Rotation diet food allergies
That helped me when it seemed for a while that I was reacting to practically everything...
Or apple cider vinegar to help?
What about the oxalate levels in Almond Flour?
Perfect explanation!
I’ve dealt with chronic stones for more than two decades. Two years ago my urologist said to try magnesium (500mg) and B6 (200mg) daily and my stones are down from an average of 1.5cm - 2.5cm down to less than 5mm. And that’s eliminated the need to have procedures to blast them so they’d pass.
I’ve followed the other advice as it is what my doctors recommended but adding the B6 plus magnesium has made a world of difference.
My urologist said it doesn’t work for everyone and works best with women but said it was worth trying as the only side effect would be expensive pee :-). Figured maybe this might help someone else suffering as I have.
thx. I've had two bouts before and still feel some from time to time. I've started edging towards carnivore in hopes this will also help. Animal products have only a trace of oxalates.
@@johnc.8298 Very true. Good luck. I’ve not tried carnivore but since the B6 and magnesium is working I’ll stick to that.
This is my 2nd time having kidney stones . Not fun at all. I tried taking magnesium but it really bothered my stomach . Maybe it was the brand??
@@paulinecallahan6888 I’m in Canada and use either Weber or Jamieson, both Canadian firms that make their supplements in Canada. Neither bother me. Maybe it’s a binding agent that’s bothering you? Hope you find something that works. Stones are no fun as we both know all too well.
Pl share what you take medicine for kidney stone.
Will you be doing any videos on histamine intolerance? I can’t have any high oxalate foods too because I have kidney stones.
I've had two bouts requiring the emerg dept. I have a few again and feel them from time to time. I'm edging toward carnivore diet and taking minerals in citrate form in hopes of ridding myself of them. Apparently black cumin seed oil helps dissolve them as well.
Thank you for all your kidney stone videos!
Don't almonds have calcium though? Wouldn't that bind to the oxalates and protect you?
Yes, that's what these crystals are made of "calcium oxalate salts". They look like shards of glass under microscope.
Great Information!
Thank You 💜
Always very helpful!
My pleasure, anytime!
I eat a lot of pistachios
Do you still eat them? How do you feel?
What about sunflower seeds? They're a personal favorite of mine.
Mine too. I’d love to know.
Pumpkin & sunflower seeds are lower oxalate seed alternatives
Dr Berg, I soak walnuts a few times in water and drain the water before consumption over a period of 24 hrs or longer. Do you think this helps with oxalates?
Boiling, blanching, or steaming oxalate-rich vegetables and soaking beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds can significantly reduce the oxalate content of these foods 👉 www.drberg.com/blog/high-oxalate-foods
I still don't understand why, in spite of Oxalates and antinutrients, Dr Berg still pushes large salads and Kale. Sure, add some cooked low Oxalate vegetables, but kale is terrible for health.
Dr. Gundry says kale is bad. Love these two Drs but now I’m confused.
I wouldn't trust anything man made and claimed to be healthy with no explanation.
I borrowed "the carnivore code" and am now edging toward "carnivorish" eating.
Thank you so much for this . I love watching your videos they are so informative.
Just water soak (and sprout, if possible) your nuts prior to low/slow roasting them. It's will drastically reduce the amounts of oxalates.
I soak the nuts over night and peel off their skins before consuming them...
Soaking reduces lectin content but according to Sally K. Norton oxalates are persistent and have been found intact after thousands of years.
@@johnc.8298 Sally k Norton has a lot of information on oxalates
@@annamaria1972 Due to ongoing health problems from a child until late 40's finding a solution became her quest. Her health history is terrible. She always preferred vegetables becoming firstly a vegan for eight years then vegetarian for eight years only to have her health deteriorate even more. Eventually her husband found a likely culprit and she reduced oxalate foods and within six months she felt the best she ever had. She studied the topic and is now well versed in oxalate as a toxin.
@@johnc.8298 Yes, I know, I have read her story and My story is nearly same so I follow her protocol now to get rid of the oxalates.
Dr Berg what about almond milk?
I love water with lemon juice everyday so
pecans vary from 4-400mg per 100g.
Doctor, what about dry fry chickpeas. Without adding salt or any sort of spices whilst frying.
Are in low in oxalate ?
What about almond butter and peanut butter? Same concept even in BUTTER form?
And almond milk.?
Try making homemade walnut butter with honey/maple syrup. Coconut milk is also a good alternative.
Just remember that the butters are denser, so compare weights.
Boiled peanuts? Steamed or cooked spinach? Does this remove oxalates?
Thanks for this helpful advice, Dr Berg 👍🏻❤
You're most welcome!
Awesome, thanks Dr Berg.
If you are prone to kidney stones you should be drinking lemon water, or eating or sucking on lemons, everyday, not to mention drinking lots of water or beer.
I eat a couple of teaspoonfuls of ground walnuts with 450gram of Greek Coconut Yogurt a day, does that do it? Sometimes I put fresh lemon juice on too.
If you eat foods correctly combined you won’t have issues. It is combing them with other foods that cause issues. Consume fruit on empty stomach. Nuts on empty stomach too. Wait 30 min after fruit to eat again. Wait THREE hours after nuts to eat again.
Dr Berg, please research proper food combing…you will help ppl tremendously more to eat healthy foods without issues.
Thank you for this helpful comment! Would you please recommend a book or other sources to learn about proper food combining?
Thank you Dr. Berg.
So eating nuts with cheese minimizes the negative effect? Did I get it right?
By the way, I tend to avoid nuts when I need to lose weight because they are very high in calories and too easy to over consume.
i start saying i will only eat a few of them and save the rest for tommorow...but i always end up finishing the pack in a matter of minutes!
@@fidelcatsro6948 Me, too :)
@@fidelcatsro6948 Same story here. And to top it off, I consumed an entire package of almonds last week within about 2 Frigging days! Sure hope I don't get any pesky kidney stones? (Well, goodbye FOREVER, almonds my love!......... I'll remember you fondly!😁)
Can you please explain if green leafy vegetables are shade dried. Would their oxalate content removed
I put a1/2 of almond milk in my chia once a day would that be ok thanks very much Dr Berg ❤️❤️❤️
Try unsweetened Hemp Milk...you will never go back to Almond milk ever again. They have it at Whole Foods...more healthy fat and nutritionally dense superfood.
bad news, chia is high in oxalates.
I had two back to back stone attacks in two weeks, OUCH!!! I can't find A list that actually agrees they are all different. I follow my heart I have been stone free for about 13 years. I pretty much eat what I like and I LOVE nuts. I drink water and enjoy some cheese. I mean I grow a garden with lots of kale lettuce and lots of other high-oxalate foods, how can kale be bad for you? Great video. Now maker one with fruit and vegetables with the right count. :) thank you.
Hello. Some veggies are really high in oxalates and can cause kidney stones. Dr. Berg has tips on how to avoid this. Please see the videos here: www.youtube.com/@DrEricBergDC/search?query=oxalate
-Dr. Berg's Support Team
Thanks doc :)
i've known alot of people who get kidney stones...none of them consume food with these oxalates in them....they all live on the S.A.D diet....processed foods/sugars, meat, cheese, potatoes, corn and maybe a sprinkling of a few other veggies like peas and broccoli. None of them eat greens or nuts except peanut butter once in a while..... i just think it is interesting how people have connected high oxalate foods with kidney stones but i've never known or seen someone get kidney stones from consuming these foods.
Potatoes very high in oxalates. These people eat a lot of French fries.
I eat some mixed nuts everyday, but I have never had problems with kidney stones. At least not yet. Thanks Dr Berg for this video.
chance are you won't. it's not common.
It takes years before symptoms appear. And it takes a long time to get them out of your body. If your eating almonds and almonds flour and almonds milk, throw in some spinach have some chocolate and you've over dosed on oxyolates. It doest take much. Our body can only process something like 150 mg a day. Lots of people eat 1000 grams or more a day just eating keto diet. Something to be very aware of.
They can also cause kidney failure and other diseases.
@@lort6022 One out of 11 people develop kidney stones in their lifetime.
@@chiron591 why would you eat oxalate rich foods on a keto diet? Seems more like a veeeeeeguuun problem!
Maybe we shouldn't eat grains and seeds???
Good info, thanks
Is it possible to purge your body of oxalates?
André
Sally K. Norton says it can take up to a decade to do so.
Timely info.
Thank you so much for using grams and not cups! Awesome!
Will soaking the nuts reduce the oxalates doctor?
Yes, if you water soak (and sprout, if possible) your nuts prior to low/slow roasting them. It's will drastically reduce the amounts of oxalates present in the nut.
You actually can buy nuts already sprouted. If not available locally, I would check Vitacost, iHerb, Lucky Vitamin, and Thrive Market online. There are other sources, I just get a lot from those and know they are reliable.
GoRaw is one brand that especially likes to use or provide sprouted nuts and seeds. They don't actually have visible sprouts, they just look maybe a bit plumper.

So, as explained ... Oxalates combine with calcium in your body and for some folks causes irritation in the kidneys and joints. Yet, if one consumes nuts along with cheese, you create this same process?
Thank you!
Does oxolate absorption change if the nut is raw or cooked?
What foods bind with oxalates to
help remove them?

@@Drberg Thanks much.
Anytime!
Thank you for mentioning oxalate in nuts. Oxalate is in almost all food. We do well to not over eat any High Oxalate foods. Oxalate is not just a problem with kidney stones genetically if one has homozygous SNP's of GRHPR gene oxalates can be more of an issue for them. With symptoms of body pain, and disrupted calcium scores can be a 50% probability. I am pretty sure if oxalate gets studied more information will surface.
If we would not get stuck eating high oxalate food often and if we would eat a seasonal fresh diet the sensitivities may not be problematic.
I was eating lots of almond and drinking almond milk every day for years - NOT Good!
I believe pecans and walnuts are both the lower carb nuts and they also have the best Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio.
I love nuts but t generally I avoid them as I eat too many and do not feel well when I eat them.
I think they also may be prone to myotoxins due to bulk storage. Better to eat organic and as fresh as possible right out of the shell.
Does this apply to unsweetened almond milk as well?
I would like to know too.
Yes it does absolutely, however there is also calcium which will keep your body from absorbing the oxalates. Just go do.some research online it's quite easy.
