My daily green smoothies are now very low oxolate!
Spinach 1 cup raw has 656 mg oxolates, while
greenleaf lettuce has 0 oxolates!
I also had to say goodbye to almonds and a few other foods that are extremely high in oxolate levels.
Although my oxalate intolerance resulting in constant AFib episodes developed after being exposed to mold three times over the past 10 years (the toxicity led to increased oxalate levels in my body), I think it's a good idea for everyone to try to follow a low oxalate diet to prevent kidney stones and other common autoimmune problems.

Oxolate Counts
Dietitians recommend keeping oxalates at less than 100 mg per day, and under 50 mg if prone to kidney stones. But they caution us to do a slow reduction to avoid symptom flare-ups.
