Oxalate Dumping: The WORST Food That Feeds Oxalates (Eat This Instead)

One of the comments below about oxalates triggering AF.
I'm 50 and did Keto about 3 years ago, overloaded on oxalates as you describe above. I ate Keto for about 12 months, by the end of that period, ended up in hospital 3 times with heart arrhythmia's AF and VF. These episodes would last up to an hour, almost died once. Feared to drive as might pass out... for about 6 - 8 months this went on. Took about 12 to 18 months to finally get rid off (including heavy oxalate dumping). Discovered myself that oxalates were a problem. The heart specialist had no idea why I was getting these issues. No one asked about diet, my cardiovascular system was healthy, so no one could figure it out. I thought it was electrical.... turns out Oxalates bind with calcium (an electrolyte) and there's the start of your problems including kidney stones etc. From the 1850s through the early 1900s, oxalate poisoning was well-recognized. Back then, it was referred to as Oxalic Acid Diathesis. The other two contributing factors are Artificial Sugars and Glyphosate. Artificial sugars such as Sucralose destroy your healthy gut bacteria, which leads to numerous issues. Glyphosate present in foods, sprayed at home, sprayed on crops to dry them out before harvest, is known to affect gut health, Sulphation and may produce endogenous Oxalates, plus who knows what else. MY advice is don't do any type of extreme diet, however Healthy Variety is key with a leaning toward Carnivore. I avoid high oxalate foods, a little of medium ones. I now eat Eggs, meat, Sauerkraut, fruit, a little vege/bread/dairy and try to avoid as much processed food as possible
