Love your videos Thomas, I struggledd most with daily routines and I would highly recommend to read The 21 former doctor secrets, if you didnt yet.

Man, it's getting harder to find things to eat! Information is SO contradictory. One "expert" will say to eat this food and another says don't eat it. How long has this been known about oxalates?

I ate 200g of raw spinach in salads every day for 3 months. Didnt drink a lot of water. Got kidney stones, but that led to find my cancer, so that painfull littlte bastard most likely saved my life. I hade adrenocortial carcinoma with a cortisol producing tumor.

I tell people I won’t eat fast food, fried foods or sugar because it makes me feel like garbage and people think I’m crazy. I feel inflamed immediately like Thomas. Guess I’m lucky for it because its definitely a good incentive for me not to eat trash

Thanks to oxalates, i have passed 41 kidney stones and 3 hospitalized me. I was taught that spinach was a superfood. So for years, I had spinach smoothies and ate raw baby spinach. Some peoples body processes oxalates correctly. Then there are people like me whose body does not. In 2018 i cut out oxalated foods, since then i have passed 2 small ones.

Copy paste from research: Approximately 75% of all kidney stones are composed primarily of calcium oxalate, and hyperoxaluria is a primary risk factor for this disorder. Nine types of raw and cooked vegetables were analyzed for oxalate using an enzymatic method. There was a high proportion of water-soluble oxalate in most of the tested raw vegetables. Boiling markedly reduced soluble oxalate content by 30-87% and was more effective than steaming (5-53%) and baking (used only for potatoes, no oxalate loss). An assessment of the oxalate content of cooking water used for boiling and steaming revealed an approximately 100% recovery of oxalate losses. The losses of insoluble oxalate during cooking varied greatly, ranging from 0 to 74%. Because soluble sources of oxalate appear to be better absorbed than insoluble sources, employing cooking methods that significantly reduce soluble oxalate may be an effective strategy for decreasing oxaluria in individuals predisposed to the development of kidney stones.

And now I need to tell my 96 year old grandmother that her diet has been wrong her whole life. She has all of her faculties including total recall all the way to 5 years old and her short term memory is great. She lived on her own until this past winter. She ate whole foods and sweets occasionally. Vegetables and meat and dairy. She was a cook at the local school for over 25 years. She was not over weight at all and kept active around the home and yards but didn’t ever go to a gym. Interesting. Everyone in that small town of that age is like that. Water came from a local mountain spring so no messing with it either.

My diet is 70% chicken nuggets and 30% oxidized seed oils. This video has me seriously questioning my life.

Dr Jacob Torres PhD is said to be an expert and doesn't know that broccoli is a low oxalate vegetable. Its only 2 miligrams of oxalates per cup. He said its a higher oxalate food which is not true.

Great interview! Please do a full antinutrient breakdown vid for us when you can! Oxalatas, Phytates, Lectins, etc

Why is no one really talking about fermentation of vegetables to reduce oxcilates?

Great interview! I really loved these comments by Dr Torres: (a) "How much life are you willing to trade for living?", and (b) "When you are healthy you can sense when something is wrong." Food for thought.

It is interesting to note that most traditional ways of cooking spinach involve boiling it, discarding the water and pairing it with some diary product, be it milk or cream. It is only relatively recently that people started consuming spinach by itself.. It is funny how knowledge gets forgotten..

He said Mcnuggets. So Wendy's spicy chicken nuggets are a go

Turmeric is very high in oxylates, used in many Indian cuisine. I've read India is not known for strong gut health. Sally K Norton's book Toxic Superfoods is informative. Sally a Cornell graduate in nutrition healed herself from oxylate overload and dumping.

This is why I only eat free range pasture human.

Eating citric fruits, with say spinach, help to ameliorate the negative effects of oxalate. "Lemons are a specific inhibitor of oxalates.[12] Citrate acts as an inhibitor of calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate stone formation.[13],[14]" If you're on a juice fast consuming green juice every day, you should also consume fresh fruit juice that contains lots of citric acid to ameliorate high oxalate from concentrated green juices

So if frying is the problem, then it would apply to all fried food, not just chicken nuggets. You can't even find a restaurant that has a decent selection of food that is not fried. Even if you get a salad, the dressing is going to have canola or soy oil.

I don’t have 4 stomachs to deal with oxalates but I eat those hominid animals that do and my blood work is incredible.
