What exactly is oxalate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A compound.: Oxalate is a naturally occurring substance found in many plants and beans. 80% of kidney stones in adults are calcium-oxalate stones. Many people prone to stone formation must avoid oxalate; however, eating oxalate-rich food does not necessarily cause stones to form.
