Calcium oxalate stones are the most common type of kidney stones in the U.S. There is some debate, but many people believe that large quantities of oxalates can increase your body’s chances of forming kidney stones. Because oxalates (which bind calcium in your body) are found in vegetables like Spinach and Swiss chard, it is suggested that you avoid consuming large quantities at once.[1]
Oxalates, found in Spinach, can increase your chances of forming kidney stones. Avoid consuming large quantities of vegetables with oxalates at once like beet greens, parsley, collard greens, leeks and okra.
