Guest guest Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 I guess we've touched on the oxalic acid subject before but I just want to make sure I understand.....if someone has osteoporosis they do not necessarily need to avoid anything with oxalic acid they just need to limit or when eating sprinkle with lemon juice or vinegar to neutralize the oxalic acid?? Norman says that oxalic acid is only problem when heated... but then I have also heard that oxalic acid is broken down by heat ~when I go down produce aisle sometimes I skip over huge sections due to oxalic acid content in vegetables .. am I being silly? I guess I'm super paranoid/scared given I have osteoporosis and I am only 27 years old :' Please advise here.... Should I continue to eat all and any vegetable considering the benefits of negative ions and other benefits of RAW vegetables of all types?? Should I still eat greens spinach.. kale... swiss chard etc despite oxalic acid or should I lightly cook... or not cook or does sprinkling with vinegar or lemon juice neutralize this oxalic acid? Please advise thanks jen " And we have made of ourselves living cesspools, and driven doctors to invent names for our diseases.
