Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Hi Peg: I hadn't realized these berries contained significant amounts of oxalates. But the only problem I was aware of with oxalates (in the quantities normally consumed) was that they hinder the absorption of calcium. So perhaps you need to supplement calcium at a time of the week you are not eating berries?
