Extract

The author also emphasizes that oxalic acid is important for colon health. When we do not get enough from our diet, the body makes it from ascorbic acid. Eating foods containing oxalates and calcium together may reduce the risk of kidney stones according to some studies because oxalate binds with calcium in the intestine. In the conclusion the author says ’’Before you start limiting greens and nuts and buckwheat and cabbage… totally eliminate junk food… and fast food. Most people need to eat more greens, not less.’’
I found the article of rich informative value. The article is addressed to a general reader and I think that everyone should know that, because it helps to understand how oxalic acid can affect our health.
