This essay sheds light on the dangers of consuming oxalate rich foods, explicates how to minimize oxalate absorption when eating oxalate rich foods, and identifies oxalate rich foods that you should avoid eating. Moreover the multitude of simple to prepare and moreish healthy food recipes for longevity are demystified, deadly disease causing foods that you should always forbear ever considering eating are revealed, and how to substantially mitigate risks for succumbing to contracting life threatening chronic diseases by embracing a salubrious, heart healthy, brain healthy, kidney healthy, anticancer, antidiabetic, nutrient dense, alkaline, antioxidant rich, anti-inflammatory, raw fruitarian diet is expounded upon is the essay. The dangers of consuming oxalate rich foods should not be overlooked and can be perilous to the individual's overall health. Oxalates are antinutrients that can elicit grave health issues if they are not dismantled "by bacteria in the gut" (Spritzler, 2017) nor discharged from the body's urinary tract. Oxalates can be found in a variety of disparate food groups including "vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. Your body can produce oxalate on its own or obtain it from food. Vitamin C can also be converted into oxalate when it is metabolized food. Once consumed, oxalate can bind to minerals to form compounds, including calcium oxalate and iron oxalate. This mostly occurs in the colon, but can also take place in the kidneys and and other parts of the urinary tract" (Spritzler, 2017). Even though these aforementioned oxalate compounds can be discharged from a health body, not everyone is always able to easily discharge "calcium oxalate nor iron oxalate" (Spritzler, 2017) from their body, especially if their health is severely comprised. Oxalates not only bind to minerals, but can also contributed to the formation of kidney stones. The consumption of oxalates can also elicit a host of other health issues that can further exacerbate someone's beleaguered health. The dangers appertaining to consuming oxalate rich foods are multitudinous and should be taken into consideration before making dietary decisions. Much to the dismay of a health conscious consumer, oxalates can "hinder nutrient absorption (Spritzler, 2017). Moreover, nutrient absorption may possibly be even further hindered when oxalate rich foods are consumed in tandem with fiber rich foods (Spritzler, 2017). Oxalates can hinder the absorption of "minerals in the gut" (Spritzler, 2017). Your calcium absorption for instance will be substantially lessen when you consume oxalate rich foods. Oxalates and calcium can form crystals if they bind and are not dissolved. "These crystals can lead to the formation of kidney stones, especially when oxalate is high and urine volume is low" (Spritzler). 80% of kidney stones are comprised "of calcium oxalate" (Spritzler). The lingering presence of calcium oxalates in the body can precipitate the formation of kidney stones. Large kidneys stones can cause a host of health issues. "Large kidney stones can cause severe pain, nausea, and even blood in the urine as they move through the urinary tract" (Spritzler). Kidney stones can also severely damage kidneys and cause the individual to contract an infection. Moreover, kidneys "stones can block the flow of urine through the ureters and urethra," ("Kidney Stones," n.d.). The health issues that oxalates can draw forth extend beyond the ambit of stifling nutrient absorption in the gut and binding with calcium to form crystals which lead to the formation of kidney stones. "Oxalates can accumulate in the body and cause inflammation. The symptoms of oxalate accumulation includes pain, nephrolithiasis, and neurological symptoms. Oxalates have also been associated with vulvodynia, vulvar pain, and even fibromyalgia pain" ("The Dangers Of," 2016). The health issues that oxalates cause should not be overlooked and oxalates can also adversely impinge on every facet of your life.
