Better summary:
One trick doctors hate! your supposedly good diet is making you sick! Buy my book and supplements!
Trust me, I have been to university! Don't ask for the paperwork to prove it though :p
she isn't selling supplements, just the recommendation to avoid oxalates in your food.
If you want paperwork:
paperwork
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=oxalate+symptomsIf you don't want to buy her book, or if your too lazy to pirate it, and you can't be bothered to watch the interview.... I'll give you the TLDR: Oxalates kinda suck, but most people don't care until they get a kidney stone. If you are concerned then don't eat food with oxalates in it.
Then drink, too much salt and calcium but not enough water are nothing new. In the interview she either doesn't seem to understand, or she enjoys misrepresenting things. The recommended daily dosis aren't difficult to find. Around 2.1 grams. But this lady is calling 0.073 grams a "massive spike".
kidney stones are calcium oxalates (typically). I'm glad you have solved kidney stones! Just drink more water.
Bruh, this is not news. And with the exception of a rare genetic mutation where your body makes a heck of a lot of the stuff, you won't be experiencing toxicity either.
And hey, I've also solved obesity! Just eat less!
Really tho, this woman is misrepresenting the issue
