A member asked:
Just ate lg portion of roasted red beets. are beets dangerous to your kidneys? or other internal stuff? i'm kinda freaked out.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Monitor: A single large portion should not be a problem. Beets are a healthy food, providing antioxidants and minerals. Keep in mind that beets also contain oxalates, which can increase the risk of kidney stones. Therefore, beets should not be eaten in large quantities by anyone with a history of kidney stones or kidney disease. Eating beets can also cause urine to turn red temporarily.
