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.

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

The title has some questionable sounding terms in it, I agree. But the content of the video is not sensational and the existence of oxalic acid in some foods is indisputable. Especially if you ask my friends that have kidney stones...

To address your second point, Sally Norton does have academic credentials. They are listed in the video description:

Sally holds a nutrition degree from Cornell University and a Master’s of Public Health degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She worked in the field of Integrative Medicine at UNC Medical School as Project Manager of an NIH-Funded project for expanding medical education to include more awareness of holistic and alternative healing arts.

Sally has published popular articles in academic and popular journals, and appeared in numerous interviews (including with Dr. Joseph Mercola) discussing the widespread but little-known harmful effects of oxalates in our food.

I have the impression that she started her study in nutrition because she experienced a lot of poor health caused by oxalates, but please correct me if I'm wrong. As a result, even if anecdotal, I find her experiences fascinating because they seem so genuine to me.

I listened to the numbers, looked some of the subjects up on websites of a locsl universities, noticed the conflict of interest, and I think she's probably not got proper intentions here
