Without reading/listening to the whole thing, Renee, this part here: "that the real issue often lies with gut microbiome imbalances rather than oxalates themselves." ...is the real issue about many health conditions, I have found. It5nit actually the good nutrients that are the problem, it's the plan to deflect consumers from ingesting well and to put them off on other not useful eating regimens and to add mindal suspicion into their lives = destruction of body.

Coincidentally, this was also posted this morning, which tracks nicely with your post:

I thought asparagus was one of the oxalates too?

according to my google search asparagus is moderate in oxalates. If you wondering about why it makes your pee smell, this is what I found in a google search: "The main culprit is aspargusic acid, which is found exclusively in asparagus. When asparagus is digested, asparagusic acid gets broken down into sulfur containing byproducts. "

Apparently not. This is the best resource I have found:
