You need to consume MORE CALCIUM, to prevent CALCIUM OXALATE STONES.

Labo ba? Hindi. Counterintuitive lang.

CALCIUM ang most-common component ng kidney stones. Pero! Hindi ka dapat tumigil kumain ng mga high-calcium food. LOW CALCIUM consumption ang nakaka-kidney stones, hindi high-calcium consumption.

Pag HIGH in calcium kasi ang diet mo, nagba-bind yung calcium sa oxalate, sa bituka mo pa lang, tapos, mailalabas mo na siya sa poops mo. Pag LOW in calcium naman ang diet mo, ma-a-absorb sa bloodstream mo yung oxalates, at mapo-process sa kidneys kung saan siya puwedeng mag-crystallize at maging stone pag humalo sa urinary calcium. Sa URINARY calcium at URINARY oxalates ang labanan.
