Kidney stones

Guys, it's NOT the calcium that's the problem.......

It's a compound called OXALATES that is the major cause of most stones.

Chocolate (cocoa) has an EXTREME amount of oxalate.....Green beans, Swiss Chard, Spinach, Peanut Butter.......and MANY more culprits that most of us eat without thinking a thing about it.........

If the digestive tract does not get enough absorbable calcium, oxalates in your food crystallize with some calcium in your kidneys.......(calcium aids in flushing oxalates BEFORE they get to the kidneys).

I've had stones enough to dread the thought........BUT, I've now learned to limit or remove certain foods from my diet, get more calcium, AND drink more fluids all day.

OXALATES guys. Look it up........You're gonna be SHOCKED at some of the stuff that's been causing you this torture. !!!!!!!!!!!! :burnout:
