Episode #158: Oxalates Revisited: Separating Fact from Fiction with Dr. Sina

In this episode of Beyond Labels, co-hosts Farmer Joel and Dr. Sina revisit the controversial topic of oxalates. Following a previous episode with Sally Norton that sparked confusion and frustration among listeners, Dr. Sina presents a comprehensive breakdown of oxalates based on her extensive two-month research.

Key points covered:

• Definition and nature of oxalates
• Health conditions associated with oxalates - according to scientific literature
• Who might be affected by "oxalate overload"
• Dr. Sina's perspective on why oxalates are not universally toxic- 
• How modern lifestyle and dietary choices may contribute to oxalate sensitivity
• Dr. Sina's unique proposal on the potential function of oxalates in the body, which contradicts the scientific consensus

This episode aims to separate fact from fiction, providing listeners with a balanced and informed view on the oxalate debate.
