Me and my brother drink 2 cups of almond milk everyday! Am I understanding that we could be at higher risk of kidney failure?! ��
Interesting that you try and eat healthy but still can have develop health problems. You have to be careful with everything that you do.
Dr. Greger, could you put together a list of high oxalate foods, like spinach? It would be very helpful. If one searches the internet you get conflicting numbers, etc. I’d rather have the numbers/list from a source I trust like Nutritionfacts. Thanks.
Thank you, excellent information. I subscribed, and will definitely pass it on to all my contacts.
Great! I always used spinach in my smoothies… Like ALOT, kale would be a better choice? I normally thought it was healthy and cheap to add almost as a filler. Hmmmm.
Dr Brooke Goldner healed her lupus with 70% kale and spinach and 30% fruit. The question is what the people who got sick ate with their spinach?
Eggs
Bacon
Sausage
Steak
????
I’m confuse, Dr Walter heald many people with his juice and often he recommended daily spinach juices, he said that only cooked oxalate are an issus never raw?
Measuring in cups is not accurate. You can feel your cup with vastly different amounts of spinach.
That’s where Liam Hemsworth failed as he had a spinach/almond smoothie each morning and now blamed it on the whole plant-based diet I’d wish he would get in touch with Dr. Greger
Why the heck dont you warn people about the phytic acid, oxalates, lectins in most of your beloved green shit!!! Anyone eating lots of greens/veggies/fruits every day will regret it down the line!!! Its also full of pesticides!
AS USUAL, VERY INFORMATIVE AND RIGHT ON! MUCHAS GRACIAS FOR THIS SUPER NECESSARY INFO. THAT WE ALL NEED.
BLESSINGS✌��
Insane, this is from the medical community?!?!?!? Recommending a high oxalate food to humans? Most of these nutrients are not available for absorption. Just because they CONTAIN these nutrients, like for example calcium, does not mean they are in a form humans can absorb.
DO NOT eat this until you learn about oxalates and the extremely detrimental effect they can have on your health.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOTMJYbDQok
This is a much better video from Dr. Greger, but I wish he had mentioned almonds, which is a common ingredient in a lot of vegan food in the title, as well as oxalates. Again, he fails to mention that oxalate overload can lead to cancer
Jeez I love spinach, beet greens and chard. They blend very well in smoothies. Guess I will stick to salad and steaming them
EXCELLENT I DO NOT KNOW WHY THIS INFO IS NOT GIVEN OUT BY UROLOGISTs MY HUSBAND HAS SEEN 3 DIFFERENT UROLOGISTs. The 1st DR. around 201 in Scottsdale -warned him against tums and the like and taking vitamins as he had written his own pamphlet on the use of minerals and Vit C attributing towards kidney stones. So then my husband read the pamphlet and stopped taking tums and vitamins/minerals. I don’t think NOT taking vitamins/minerals is a good thing for someone on the SAD diet. Now aprx 20 yrs later, after gradually feeling lousy year after year,,,,I was able to get him to start taking vit/minerals again * I buy as high a quality as I can afford * I would like to see a video on the quality of vitamin companies. Which Vitamin companies have the best ratios on their mix and which ones are most complete, which company produces the highest quality. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO DR. GREGER *PEACE
I made so much spinach tonight…
i will be able to see back into the future after eating this much
Thank you!
I’ve recently become vegetarian but would like to become vegan over the next yr. but my biggest problem is that I vigorously strength train (to near muscle fatigue) and still believe I need way more than 40 g of protein. Plus I do not think I can get all my amino acids unless I eat a ton of quinoa, so I still eat eggs and fish. Please please please do a video on the kinds of protein I can get from what foods where I’m not eating 20 cans of bean a day. If I can get all amino acids and at least 60 grams of protein daily, I will go vegan, I wish to stop animal husbandry cruelty. Thanks for your help and consideration!
What kind of teas? Black teas? Herbal teas? ALL teas? Please clarify as I do drink about 2 to 3 liters of herbal teas per day ����
Here we go again: what a disillustionment to discover that so-called healthy vegetables like spinach can do damage to the kidneys to a great extent and end up by ruining one’s health especially when one is drinking smoothies following the trend of the momentand believing Dr. Gregers propaganda about the health benefits of greens. Couldn,t he have given us these facts from the beginning. It feels like having poisenned
oneself and one’s family and friends by believing in Dr..Gregers Health views. He does still owe his followers an apology,, doesn’t he?
So if I have anemia and I eat about a handful of spinach a day at lunch to help combat it, would that put me at risk? We’re talking maybe 20-30 baby spinach leaves
Wow, I have been blending two cups (85g) of baby spinach or baby spinach/Kale for a long time now with no issues. I will stop that immediately and just eat salads instead. Maybe the other things in that smoothie saved me from having problems. Maybe I did have some issues but thought it was something else. Crazy
But what about turmeric? It is very tempting to have both spinach and turmeric on the same day, and I’m often wondering if a teaspoon limit of turmeric is still valid. And to be perfectly honest calling something that can easily give you kidney stones at such minimal dosage “healthiest food on planet” is somewhat… “hypish”. Anyways, oxalates = spinach + turmeric. Please indicate safe combined intake. Also perhaps spreaded distribution of consumption of these throughout the day may matter too? PS: doesn’t cinnamon deserve to be mentioned among oxalate superfoods? So for many people it is greens AND spices total for proper daily intake… Also how much oxalate from turmeric (powdered) goes into body isn’t quite clear, it might be less available than in spinach, right?
29 people didn’t listen about spinach and needed lithotripsy.
Warning: high usage of selective study quotes and overdosage of visual charts can seriously damage your health.
I started eating spinach again and I’m proud of myself; such a good boy
I feel like there’s not enough evidence to bring up almonds and cashews. You need more than case reports to draw conclusions on them. These foods have so many health benefits that people shouldn’t worry about them.
after watching the video: okay i’ll have some now!
(takes a bite)
why can’t i feel my mouth anymore?
Great Info as always, Yeah I think I’m going to stick wit Arugula and Watercress which taste better than Spinach anyway
Amazing! Check this Spinach Soup, it might be helpful ��
https://youtu.be/AoORyzGov6Y
Thanks to speaking about antinutrients to vegans, too many super foods obsession.
Ok now I’m confused with what to eat or not because I love eating everything he mentioned
Congratulations, Dr Gregor you just did a hit piece on some of the healthiest foods on the planet. Many people will now avoid these foods. Sounds like these studies were hit pieces themselves and based on theories not facts. All foods have oxalates, why bring in fear against highly healing foods. Is there a real test studies?
I gave myself kidney stones doing spinach smoothies for a couple weeks. Blood in urine and everything. The doctor was confused because after I passed then I didn’t have any more stones that would show up with the ultrasound. It was just a week or pain, a lot of blood in my urine and it was over and done with. Never again. ����
Dr. Greger is there an ill relation between red kindey beans / black eye peas and certain types of Kindey issue?
Cooked spinach has 2 times less oxalate… But when you cook spinaches, they are so much “reduced” that you eat 10 times more of them, than if left uncooked:p
I eat 2-4 cups of spinach a day. Is that bad? I’m 20 so maybe my age would reduce the chances of kidney stones
I’m done eating large amounts of spinach/swiss chard. Thanks Dr. Greger.
So what can be done if you are a big tea drinker and have cut down but wake up with pains in that area?
Use barley grass juice powder in your smoothies instead, it is low in oxalate and prevents kidney stones
I ate spinach chicken and tuna almost everyday for an entire month when I was doing a keto challenge at work. I also drank a lot of instant tea lol. I guess my body is good at eliminating oxalate. I will keep these things in mind and diversify, though a handful of spinach is probably going to be a staple for me.
the 20 thumbs down so far 2 this jenuineli truthful video
must have an emotional attachment to their POPEYE the die young sailorman….
or something….
Every time I had a kidney stone I ate low carb high fat while I was extremely dehydrated and I had only a cup of cofee in the morning. Once I ate nothing but two avocados. The other time I ate pistachios and raw broccoli. The pain would come in waves with every fatty meal after 15 minutes.
Eating fruit stopped the pain. Oddly enough I stopped a kidney stone with starfruit on two occasions..
Now I stay hydrated and avoid keto meals.
The first time I went to the hospital the Dr’s told me not to eat meat and cheese. I told them I was plant based. The internet told me not to eat the top 30 healthiest fruits and vegetables. The water cure told me to prevent supersaturated urine by drinking enough water. I believe that is the answer.
Íve had kidney stones since I was 8yrs old. They suck and yes tea and spinach make my kidneys ache sometimes when I have too much. I’d heed the Dr’. Advice if I were… anyone. Kidney stones are sooooo not fun to say the least. As well if you do have issues with kidney stones the one of the best advice I ever received is to more than focusing on what you eat, focus on your water intake. Drink drink drink lots of water so that the oxalates get flushed through and don’t get a chance to crystallize. This simple change has made the biggest difference in reducing reoccurring stones for me.
Sooooo… what’s the upper limit of spinach!?? Am I crazy or did he not even give an answer
I guess anything, even good for us, in huge quantity of single food can have side effects, variety of foods instead of single mega dose of one is key.
My partner has ‘ a stone in every organ that can have a stone in it.’ Before I met him and helped him transfer over to a more plant based diet he was getting kidney stones every couple months. He still gets them about once a year. I don’t know what to do to help him.
I mean our physiology shows we are most likely made to consume fruits primarily so for me it is no shock that certain leafy greens aren’t that great for us in such big amounts.
Very informative video presented in a very difficult to comprehend manner, or was that just me?
This is what i don’t like about nutritionfacts videos are short and confusing. After seeing this my conclusion is stay away from tea and spinach. He talks about negative facts about spinach pretty much all video,even at low quantities, then he ends telling spinach is super healthy “really”.
I wonder how risk occurs in large doses of high oxalate greens then followed by a lack of greens for some time.
I’ve been taking large amounts of Vitamin C supplement (2000mg) daily for 35 years. Sometimes I take 2 or 3 of these tablets daily, especially in hot weather. Addicted to asparagus, like Spinach leaves uncooked, grow my own mustard greens (so eating those pretty regularly), love cashews and almonds.
I’ve not had a kidney stone yet and never had any issues with my kidneys. Is it just that some people are more prone to these sorts of problems than others? Or do these problems only become more significant as you get older and should I start to watch things more carefully now (age 53)?
I always been eating spinacn when my mom said i can finish all the spinach I JUST GO TO RABID BEAST MODE AND BITE THAT AND RIP THAT THING
I hate mustard leaves but now I think I am going to change my taste
Yeah, it is quite painful when it’s build up. Maybe you’ll gain tolerance to that pain.
I finally find a green vegetable thats healthy that I like and now I can’t eat it because it will give me kidney stones. �� Just can’t win anything.
Half the greens are high in oxalates and the other half (cruciferous) have too many goitrogens… Is there a middle ground?
Yeah, I don’t even eat spinach anymore. I stick with lower oxalate greens like turnip greens and mustard greens and steam them. I might eat one piece of high vitamin C fruit (like an orange) with my greens to help with iron absorption (or sprinkle the juice of a lemon or lime on them), but that’s it. My diet is getting really dialed in based on years of nutritional research from folks like Dr. Greger, Dr. McDougall, and Dr. Klaper not to mention the data on the Okinawans and Tarahumara, both who have anti-obesogenic and anti-atherogenic diets.
is raw red cabbage a good source of calcium? i guess it would also depend on the state of the soil in which it’s grown though
Oh my god, why I don’t know this. I cooking much spinat and tomatos and kidneybeans together with kurkuma and pepper amd I eating a lot from these. Thank your for this…
Great timing! My husband has a history of kidney stones, and he’s currently going through such painful issue again. I eat vegan (not necessarily healthy), he eats everything. While at home he usually eats what I make but I haven’t been cooking that much so he’s been eating out or buying pizza almost everyday. After passing 3 kidney stones last week (just last week) we have decided to start cooking home again and preparing low oxalate foods. I only cook plant based meals, so I was surprised to find so many plant based foods high in oxalates. Still, that’s something my husband rarely ate and he got kidney stones. His own urologist told him to eat more plant based proteins, reduce salt, drink plenty of water but making sure he was peeing a lot during the day. It’s a journey!
A few cups of spinach a day is NOT that much especially for people who smoothie or juice. That’s kinda scary. I think I’ll just opt for kale most of the time.
Mix a good quality cheese with your greens to lower oxilates.
Thank you Dr!
Wow! I had no idea of the magnitude of the oxalates in spinach!
I am one who always overdoes it…and I love raw spinach.. and I love salads.
Looks like I’m going to have to learn to like Kale…. maybe w/ spiced vinegar dressing…
0:07 Damn, shut down her kidneys in just 10(!!) days! AND SHE HAD NORMAL KIDNEY FUNCTION WHEN SHE STARTED! YIKES!
And you inform people only now? I’ve already fucked up my health. And you don’t even mention buckwheat, sorrel, chocolate…
Thank you for this information. I knew too much spinach could cause a problem, but did not know antibitoics could add to the risk. I have been on long-term antibiotics and love both spinach and cashews. I purposely never juice spinach, but it isn’t uncommon for me to eat raw spinach on a daily basis. I’ll be sure to mix my greens more often.
Sorry, can somebody please explain. Almonds and cashews are high in oxalate? And if you cook the greens the oxalate will be reduced or not? Thanks (I am not a native English speaker)
Well. I love spinach! Checkout this recipe for Spinach

I recently started eating healthy greens, unfortunately i am finding out that they also have complications such as oxalates and goitergenics.
This video’s about 10 years behind! It’s a good thing I figured this out on my own!
To be clear, I encourage everyone to eat huge amounts of dark green leafies every day, the healthiest food on the planet, but if you follow this advice (and you should!) then just choose any of the other wonderful greens. If you eat regular boring amounts of greens (like a serving a day) then it doesn’t matter which you choose. Some tips on how you might prep them for max benefit: How to Cook Greens ( https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-cook-greens) and Second Strategy to Cooking Broccoli ( https://nutritionfacts.org/video/second-strategy-to-cooking-broccoli).
What about roasted beetroots? I eat them very often!!! Any thoughts?
I am more worried about potatoes. They are my staple food, as I can’t tolerate most grains.
That information is very important for people who are > prone < to that illness...NOT everyone is. Know your body...I do 10-16 ounces often to daily in a green smoothie and have had no issues in almost 4 years. > Check out, Dr.Brooke Goldner. < Prayers and blessings to those who do have issues.
This is real medicines, one time i have a pain in my kidney, and that day I’m getting ready to start to rid off my veggies that i forgot in the fridge. And I saw my mustard greens, oh its getting bad again. But I decided to cook in shrimp, 2 head of garlic and 1 onion no salt. I had a high BP too cuz of pain. I ate those right away with wild rice and ate all the mustard green. While I washing the dishes, my pain is gone and I look right away the health benefits of mustards green in utube and I was surprised in that amazing benefits.
I knew about the oxalate problem before and therefore limit my consumption. I just whished I would like kale better. Sigh…
Im strong to the finish cause I eats me Spinach im Popeye the Sailor Man
Sorry, but this Greek girl practically grew up on spinach via daily spanikopita in which pounds of spinach were baked raw into a crust. My grandparents and great grandparents ate at least as much. No kidney issues, but I have really string bones. Anecdotal? Yes. But I’m notunusual, stop scaring people.
What if you drink a lot of water to try to flush everything out???
Aaaaahhh! Wait I’m 23….. and tbh I’ve been having 4 cups of spinach everyday with avocado and pineapple 1-2tbsp of honey. I’m vegetarian. I was low on potassium. (Coming off Water fasting) So I’d thought to make sure I have potassium everyday I’d eat spinach everyday. Am I at risk? ��������������
Ian growing it in garden. Its delicious with daal and carrot sabji.
I eat more than a cup of greens everyday, no problems so far. I get my vitamins this way, I prepare my boiled greens for the week and ready to go. No pain when going to the restroom so far. Feel great.
I was about to reck my fricking kidneys. For the past 3 days Ive had 3 cups of spinach and 3 cups of beet greens plus about 1/4 of almonds.
आरोग्य चांगले राखण्याच्या दृष्टीने शाकाहार करणाऱ्या व्यक्तींनी पालकाच्या भाजीचे नियमित सेवन करावे. कारण मटन, चिकन, अंडी, मासे, यांच्या मासांतून जेवढय़ा प्रमाणात प्रथिने मिळतात, अगदी तेवढय़ाच प्रमाणात पालकाच्या भाजीतून मिळतात. म्हणून मासांहर न घेणाऱ्यांसाठी पालक सेवन हे वरदानच आहे.
० पालकाच्या भाजीत लोह व तांब्याचा (कॉपर) अंश असल्याने रक्ताल्पता (अॅनिमया) या आजारावर ही भाजी अत्यंत उपयुक्त आहे. हिच्यामध्ये रक्तवर्धक गुणधर्म असल्याने रक्तकण निर्माण होण्याची प्रक्रिया लगेच सुरू होते. तसेच पालक रक्त शुद्ध करतो व हांडाना मजबूत बनविण्याचे काम करतो. पालक, टोमॅटो, काकडी, कांदा यांचे सॅलड किंवा कोिशबीर बनवून त्यात थोडेसे िलबू पिळावे. िलबामध्ये असणाऱ्या क जीवनसत्त्वामुळे पालक भाजीमध्ये असणारे लोह संपूर्णपणे शरीरात शोषले जाण्याची प्रक्रिया होते. म्हणून सहसा पालक हा स्वच्छ धुऊन कच्च्या स्वरूपात खावा.
० पालकामध्ये विपुल प्रमाणात फॉलिक अॅसिड असल्यामुळे गर्भवती स्त्रियांनी व मातांनी आहारामध्ये पालक नियमित वापरावा. पालकामध्ये असणाऱ्या फॉलिक अॅसिडमुळे गर्भाची वाढ चांगली होते व त्यामुळे गर्भपात टाळता येतो.
० अनेक गर्भवती स्त्रियांमध्ये थकवा वाटणे, धाप लागणे, वजन कमी होणे, जुलाब लागणे ही लक्षणे जाणवतात. असे होऊ नये म्हणून गर्भवती स्त्रीने पोषक आहार म्हणून पालकाचा नियमितपणे वापर करावा.
० अ जीवनसत्त्वाने परिपूर्ण अशी पालक भाजी खाल्ल्याने डोळ्यांच्या तक्रारी कमी होतात. तसेच रातांधळेपणा या विकारावर पालक हे एक उत्तम परिपूर्ण औषध आहे.
० पालक ही भाजी जीवनशक्तीचे मूलस्रोत आहे. त्यामुळे एखाद्या स्तन्यपान देणाऱ्या मातेला पुरेसे दूध येत नसेल तर अशा वेळी बालकाच्या वाढीसाठी बाळ चार महिन्यांचे झाल्यानंतर पालक पानांचे सूप करून बाळाला पाजावे. यामुळे बाळाची वाढ चांगली होते.
० पालकाच्या सेवनाने रक्तदाब नियंत्रणात राहतो.
० अंगावर गाठ येऊन जर सूज आली असेल तर अशा वेळी पालक पानांचे पोटीस गरम करून त्याजागी बांधावे.
० पालकामध्ये रक्तशोधक गुणधर्म असल्यामुळे यकृताचे विकार, कावीळ, पित्तविकार यामध्ये उपयुक्त आहे.
० आतडय़ांची ताकद वाढविण्यासाठी व त्यांना क्रियाशील बनविण्यासाठी पालकाचा एक ग्लासभर रस अनुशापोटी नियमितपणे सेवन करावा याच्या सेवनाने आतडय़ांतील मलाचे निस्सारण होण्यास मदत होते व शौचास साफ होऊन पोट स्वच्छ राहते.
० शहाळ्याच्या पाण्यातून ताजा पालक रस दिवसातून दोन वेळा १-१ कप घेतल्यास मूत्र प्रमाण वाढून मूत्रातील आम्लता कमी होते व त्यामुळे लघवीला जळजळ, थेंब थेंब लघवी होणे अशी लक्षणे नाहीशी होतात.
सावधानता
अतिपाणी घालून पालक भाजी शिजवू नये तसेच भाजी शिजल्यानंतर ते पाणी फेकून देऊ नये. यामुळे त्यामध्ये असणारे पोषक घटक वाया जाणार नाहीत. पालकाची भाजी स्वच्छ धुऊन पानांमध्ये जेवढे पाणी शिल्लक राहील तेवढेच पाणी भाजी शिजवताना वापरावे. पावसाळ्यामध्ये पालकाच्या भाजीवर कीड पडते तसेच पालक हा वात प्रकोपक असल्याने सहसा पावसाळ्यात पालक भाजी खाऊ नये किंवा भाजी खायचीच असेल तर ती प्रथम स्वच्छ दोन तीन पाण्याने धुऊन काढावी.
