Spoiler alert: As you’ll see in the next video, Kidney Stones and Spinach, Chard, and Beet Greens: Don’t Eat Too Much (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/kidne..., anyone can overdo the three high-oxalate greens—spinach, beet greens, and swiss chard, so for anyone doing cups of greens a day (as you should!) better to choose any of the other greens, such as kale, collards, or arugula.

It takes a while for videos to be made, and so when I discover something like this in the research, I immediately go to our social media channels to alert people, as I did with this cautionary note on high-oxalate greens.
