The video is an interview with Sally K. Norton, an expert on oxalates and their impact on health. Norton discusses the basics of oxalates, their sources, and the potential health issues they can cause, including kidney stones, arthritis, and mitochondrial damage. She highlights high-oxalate foods like spinach, nuts, and sweet potatoes, and explains that a low-oxalate diet can help alleviate symptoms. Norton also addresses common misconceptions, such as the belief that certain bacteria can heal the gut and eliminate oxalate issues.

Could you elaborate? Is oxalic acid the scam, or oxalate dumping? The latter I think is not well understood and often self-diagnosed, so I definitely see problems with the term.
