Oxalates can be balanced out with calcium, that's why cruciferous veggies don't cause as many issues as spinach.

- chrisco255 3y agoNo they can't, as this study shows. The problem is that calcium is bonding to the oxalates. Normally your body will pass them through excretion, but it appears that oxalates in high quantities should be avoided altogether, as they just seem to collect in the kidney. Skip the oxalates and just take the calcium. One is essential and the other is the opposite.
- scq 3y agoAgree about avoiding high quantities of oxalate, but the point of taking calcium is so that the binding occurs in the gut where it can be excreted, rather than the kidneys.
