Beets and Oxalate was Good tip

[Guest guest]

Only the beet greens or top of the beet are high in oxalate, they should be

treated like spinach, kale or other goitergen type foods that need to be steamed

or cooked in some way. If they are steamed/cooked I think the oxalate is

essentially gone. Also, the pink pee from eating beets is called Buteria, and 

is harmless and is a good way to indicate bowel transit time. Everyone gets it

when they eat good amounts of beets. Good info. on this site about beets.

Of course, if one does have a leaky gut, one should avoild *all* high

oxalate foods.   And beets are VERY high oxalate.
