Boiling only reduces it by a small amount and takes away a lot of nutrients and minerals. Even completely cooking it doesn't fully eliminate them. Some say take it with calcium but that would only form calcium oxalate crystals in the kidney

My guinea pigs don't even like this stuff. If you give them a big pile of "spinach and spring mix" they'll eat every leaf except the spinach. Then there will just be a pile of spinach neatly left.
You could use guinea pigs to sort the spinach out of mixed leaves haha

You don't. You find a low oxalate alternative and just accept that you'll never eat spinach again.

>>16681006
Is oxalate content in foods really that bad if you don't already have kidney problems? IF you have a varied diet and drink enough water it should be fine, right?

>> No.16681059

>>16681055
Mostly, yeah, you should be fine. Avoid taurine, that shit is poison and will inhibit your ability to absorb or pass oxalates.

Just dont eat a ton of them, and DEFINITELY dont eat spinach with dairy.

It's just the next housewife and /fit/ panic. Wait till it's over and a new one is en vogue so you can eat it again.

>taurine
Isn't that an essential amino acid?

I don't know, maybe. The point is, don't drink energy drinks because they'll fuck up your kidneys.

I dont drink that shit. The taurine in that trash is not the same as the naturally occurring taurine in food

I get that horrible squeaky teeth feeling after eating spinach, unless its thoroughly cooked and rinsed. Can't do it.

Drink water and realize that unless you're already damaged (kidney problems, gout, stones), a little oxalate/oxalic acid in your diet won't hurt you. Alternately, give up coffee, tea, chocolate, nuts, and berries with your spinach.

I eat about 115g of frozen spinach every day in a smoothie, and I'm not concerned about it.

If you're really worried about oxalates just rotate your vegetables. Bounce around between spinach, chard, turn greens, beet greens, mustard greens, collard.

I drank a sodium bicarbonate solution, 1 quart of water to 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Pissed out sediment. Consult you drug dealing doctor before trying something from a post on the internet, retard.
