180mg of oxalates isn't that much.
Most people consume 200 to 300 mg of oxalates per day:

and with regards to water. I believe, it's when you sip on water all day that the danger of brain swelling occurs because your body looses the ability to gauge how much water is in it's system and doesn't quite know how much to excrete.
too much of anything isn't good. it's time to start embracing less.
it's okay to drink a bit too much water at once because your body can excrete it without problems.
- nikolay 3y agoKale has goitrogens - that's why I said "thyroid-damaging."
- SECProto 3y agoThey highlighted spinach for the kidney stones (i.e. oxalates). Per your chart, they are at 970 mg/100g, so two pounds of spinach would be roughly 9000mg of oxalates.
- darth_avocado 3y agoOne of the reason I eat raw spinach only in moderation. It’s a completely different story however if you cook it. You could blanch spinach and then crush it into your soothie and all the oxalates would be broken down.
- SECProto 3y agoAs this disagreed with recommendation I had from a doctor, I just looked it up. Cooking spinach certainly reduces oxalates, maybe about 50%. It does not eliminate them.
