Plants contain oxalates, which are naturally occurring compounds that can cause harm to the body. It’s the plant defense mechanism so you never eat it again.

🍃Oxalates are found in large quantities in plant roots and leaves, the part of the plant that’s essential for it to survive.

⚠️For some, oxalates can exacerbate kidney stones, digestive issues, mineral absorption, and many other symptoms.

🔎We also produce small amounts of oxalates ourselves within our cell’s mitochondria (Kreb cycle).

👥There is also a genetic component of some people producing more oxalates within the body.

🥩Oftentimes the best way to reduce the oxalate load is by reducing the plant-based foods.
