Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Jam: this is not gonna answer your question. I'm just glad you're still with it. With all the varying responses you got yesterday, I feared you might throw up your hands in confusion and say: " the hell with it " . So it's good to hear you're sticking with it. Besides we've now invested all this advice into you :-)))) ; also your posts/questions have been great. on 10/1/2002 2:04 PM, ran7972002 at Jammer7@... wrote: > Ok folks, this is gettin' more confusing by the day.

Oxalic acid is generally undesirable. It's one of the main reasons people avoid the leaves of beetroot and rhubarb. Some of the most common sources of it that people consume in reasonable quantities apear to be spinach and carrot - with brussel sprouts probably next on the list. A quantitave list: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/Other/oxalic.html Tea and Coffee are often listed as another major source. Since these the vegetables (especially spinach) generally supply lots of their own vitamins and minerals, deficiencies may not be a big concern - but it's easy to wonder if Popeye wound up with kidney stones...
