*2 NOTES & 2 AMENDMENTS:* AMENDMENT: 1. @ibnsalah3932 pointed out that HEK293 cells have some debate on the type of cell they actually are, because they express neuronal proteins. This, then, creates confusion on if they are kidney cells or neuronal cells. Either way, I don't think it's anything that changes the interpretation of the data here, because neuronal cells are still different from breast cells, but it's still something to point out.

Thank you for the correction @mattermat1925. 2 NOTES: 1. I expect to create more content looking at cancer risk, so this is preliminary, but if we track soy consumption (one of the highest oxalate containing foods) and breast cancer - there is a slightly *reduced* risk (see reference) with increasing soy intake. I realize this is association, but if oxalates have such tremendous pro-cancerous effects, we wouldn't see an inverse relationship, even by correlation. It's possible the overall effect of the diet overcomes any *potential* negative effects of oxalates in regard to cancer. Like I said, we need more data. Trock BJ, Hilakivi-Clarke L, Clarke R. Meta-analysis of soy intake and breast cancer risk. J Natl Cancer Inst. 2006;98(7):459-471. doi:10.1093/jnci/djj102 2. @andybryant3052 asked if the mice were female, which is an important detail I failed to mention - the answer is yes, they were all female. To Andy's point, as well, it may matter in respect to menopause, as well. Great point.
I think what’s so hard to decipher is - does the soy HELP or was it simply the avoidance of the animal protein sources, ya know? Like, are there alternatives even better than spy or no?
Regarding oxalates rhubarb, spinach and mangold (chard) are actually the highest in oxalate. Some herbs are also very high. Soy is actually quite low in oxalates compared to these foods. Also it's hard to talk about soy in general, because of the many different forms. At least isoflavones content varies wildly between e.g. soy protein isolate and textured soy protein.
I cannot speak to breast cancer but I had an high oxalate diet and my ankle disintegrated at the point of highest pressure due to that diet, however I should add I was also experiencing gut/ microbiota issues, most likely some level of insulin resistance, developed a skin cancer, plantar fasciitis etc... Going carnivore fixed ALL of this. But I believe it furthers my hypothesis that diet is meant to vary with the seasons. Periods of keto\ carnivore / fasting over winter prepares and repairs the intestinal wall, cells, mitochondria for the onslaught of plant material and accompanying compounds\ toxins etc.. coming at them in the summer months.
@5:06 ‘…is not in your cells to cause cancer.’ This is why I watch and support you Nic. How many on YT would either not know to clarify this or choose not to for clicks. A PhD friend in breast cancer researches would approve.
It’s “not in your cells” to inject crap that doesn’t belong there, into them. This “study” is faulty, as are so many absurd “studies” that pass for science. No real doctor or scientist would “approve” of this garbage “study.”
The bothersome things are A) in nature you’re not taking up oxalates directly through muscle tissue/blood supply - digestion is a chemical process. B) dosage/compounds. how did they determine the exact molar concentration and in what form to equal the digested blood serum form.
What I think would be more interesting is a study how oxalates influence the uptake of certain minerals like Ca, Mg or Fe in the intestines. This is a bigger concern to me than the risk of breast cancer. I don‘t know if this has already been done.
I know they can, at least a high levels, impair Ca absorption at least in primarily herbivorous reptiles. Granted these are animals with higher Ca requirements. Generally it's recommended to not make high oxalate greens be the base of the diet and to use low oxalate greens as the staple for animals like tortoises and bearded dragons.
Consuming oxalates orally is very different from injecting oxalates directly into the body. The 2 probably produce very different outcomes and results from each other.
Not necessarily, because oxalates starts by engesting oxalic acid, and can travel through the blood to various parts of the body. The oxalic acid combines with calcium to form oxalate crystals of different sizes. It is when these oxalate crystals are formed, they can wreak havoc on the body. Most kidney stones are a result of calcium oxalates. We know the acid can travel all through the body, even affecting the joints.
@@sidsnyder8043Oxalobacter and Lactobacillus in the gut help bind oxalates. A normal gut biome eliminates much of the oxalate found in food. Those most likely to develop kidney stones lack significant colonies of Oxalobacter and Lactobacillus.
@@sidsnyder8043 That has nothing to do with cancer or tumors. The biggest issue is leaky gut not taking care of oxalate. Our bodies will produce oxalates even if you don't eat it.
@@kroanosm617 Yes, our bodies make a small quantity of oxalates, but not to the degree one gets from eating plant foods, like spinach, sweet potatoes, and almonds. I never heard of anyone getting kidney stones that avoided eating plant foods. As I have never read a study or example of someone having any negative affects from naturally occurring oxalates in the body.As far as cancer and tumors go, I don't think we have enough evidence, positive or negative, about the relationship of oxalate crystals and their affects on cell damage.
Some things that puzzle me about this methodology of testing: -use of mice with genetic lines predisposed to tumor development; -direct injection of oxalates into tissue; -what percentage of oxalates injected vs. reasonable normal and average dietary intake? We're talking about possible risks of dietary intake by humans, right? Mixed with stomach acids, gut microflora processing...etc. How comparable is any of this?
THAT is wisdom. FEAR blocks wisdom. And one who has overcome fear sufficiently is led into all Truth, as has happened for me. Ready for Truth? Cancer is caused when normal cells abandon normal oxygen respiration and mutate in order to resparate semi-anaerobically due to a chronically acidic environment: ACIDOSIS. (Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize for work in this area.) And this is why the cure has long been known - and has been EXPERIENCED - by a tiny minority of us: ALKALIZE THE BODY. This can be done with an alkaline-forming vegetable diet that includes RAW vegetables daily, and/or by simply ingesting a simple drink of baking soda diluted in water. (And its beneficial to both taste and effect to add pure lemon juice.) There you have it. But nowadays few know who to believe. I don't have that problem, which is why I have discovered much, beyond what you would dare to believe, I assure you. Elijah has returned, as prophesied, and testifies.
Ok, but all oxalates come with fiber in vegetables. Do they cross intestinal lining readily in its purest form or are led out of the body? Who is injecting pure oxalates in the blood? 💢💢💢
What ever we eat, is decomposed into the smaller molecules possible and fibers don’t stop that proses only slow it down, so, at the end you get oxalates in your blood.
I see so many people saying stuff like this... what if this and what if that... I say why risk it at all? From everything Ive managed to learn over the last 4 years we simply dont need to eat plants.
I used to have severe, painful oxalate dumps... Do not recommend eating them AT ALL, especially if you have any gut problems and increased permeability.
Last year I was diagnosed with early psoriasis. I discovered that a smoothie i was drinking daily for nearly 3 years had ~900mg oxolates per smoothie (recommended DV is 50-100mg), I cut it out of my diet and did a few other lifestyle changes and I now have zero psoriasis patches. This analysis makes me curious about cellular division in psoriasis patients’ epidermis. Any thoughts or insights?
I successfully trained myself to raise one eyebrow by simply holding one down while raising the other. I can’t remember how long it took (I was a teenager at the time and I’m now in my 60’s) but I don’t think it was very long, I didn’t have the patience. It’s a great way to project skepticism, keep trying!
I trained myself too as a teenager. Now, at 59, I can easily raise my left eyebrow at will while keeping the right one down. It is a pity I did not train my other side to do the same, but I am appreciative of my younger self for taking the time to develop such an important ability lol
I think one thing to consider is that in practice oxalates don't come in isolation. Black beans, for example, are high in oxalates, but they come with many good nutrients (if Im not mistaken) that help combat cancer; i.e. the whole package might be meaningful. Just a thought.
Truth is simple. Nature made foods: GOOD. Man-made "foods" that aren't really foods: BAD. Ready for Truth? Cancer is caused when normal cells abandon normal oxygen respiration and mutate in order to resparate semi-anaerobically due to a chronically acidic environment: ACIDOSIS.

It's not complex, Humans have made it so in various attempts to cash in on nutrition. In reality it's ridiculously simple: Eat what were were evolved to eat which, being obligate carnivores, is predominantly an animal product based diet. Avoid anything heavily processed or synthetic or that contains more than 1 ingredient. Lastly stop listening to people that have vested interests in making you believe nonsense based in religious zealotry like veganism
I'm 56 and got a kidney stone. When I looked into that issue I discovered the word oxalate. And what do you know - i had increased the amount of spinach leaves into my vegetable juices (just cos the bag of spinach was going off so quickly) and spinach is massively high in oxolates. So glad that happened before I used them more in my juices
Ive heard drinking green tea makes oxalate form looser crystals, makes it break up before you get a stone. So i started drinking green tea instead of coffee. I feel great! 😊
@DovidM I had been using larger amounts of spinach leaves for around 7 months. As a senior radiographer I know the development stages of kidney stones bur had never heard of oxilates. Sorry, what was your point?
Hi Nicholas, a quick insight from the plant world that might help shed some light on oxalates function. In plant, oxalates are produced (among others) to chelate calcium in lime-rich soil. In Mammals, I believe Ca actually is one of the cell apoptosis signals. Therefore, should oxalate be specifically taken up to help cancer cells counteract normal apoptotic signal, this would constitute an advantage to them as they would mroe easily live on where other would enter apoptosis and die.
man you're such a legend. What would be an awesome idea for a video would be to cover what you consider to be the most optimal diet to consume in a day / week or month or whatever
Be cautious. Identify all the high oxalate foods in your diet and slowly reduce the amount of those foods. Be aware of the problem of oxalate dumping. If you totally eliminate all oxalates at once, it could be painful.
@amperage8032 look up a low oxalate diet. You don't want to fully stop due to what's called oxalate dumping which can be worse than the side effects of just eating too many oxalates
Here is a list of foods high in oxalates from highest to lowest: 1. Spinach 2. Rhubarb 3. Swiss chard 4. Beet greens 5. Beetroot 6. Cocoa powder 7. Sweet potatoes 8. Okra 9. Parsley 10. Purslane 11. Soy products (tofu, soy milk) 12. Nuts (such as almonds, cashews, and peanuts) 13. Wheat bran 14. Kiwi 15. Blackberries 16. Strawberries 17. Raspberries 18. Celery 19. Tea (black tea, green tea, and oolong tea) 20. Miso soup 21. Tomato sauce 22. Starfruit 23. Dark chocolate 24. Almonds (high-oxalate variety) 25. Peanut butter This list is not exhaustive, and the oxalate content may vary depending on factors such as cooking methods and portion sizes. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for personalized dietary advice based on your specific needs and health conditions.
Well, l guess l may as well die. I am diabetic and the foods l CAN eat are now bad for me. Everything is dangerous! l grew up eating many foods on this list and at age 76 never had cancer.
When I was on a keto I was eating almond flour biscuits daily often topped with almond butter. There should be a warning label on the bag. Oxalate bombs! Thanks for the list!
Gained a subscriber. This study reminds me of Yasmina Ykelenstam (Healing Histamines blog). She was sensitive to histamine and oxalates. Turns out she passed from aggressive breast cancer, though she managed to outlive most people with the same form (maybe due to dietary care).
I dont know about cancer but consuming large amounts of oxalic acid or oxalates can cause oxalate crystal deposition in the kidney leading to damage. There are plenty of case reports of excess sorrel ingestion causing AKI. Calcium oxalate crystals also cause local irritation in the mouth when ingesting toxic plants such as arum.
what about stinging nettles? It is believed that the plants contain higher levels of calcium oxalate crystals after flowering, which can cause kidney problems.
I don't know about causing cancer, but in my personal experience and with a bit of research, oxalates do bind to nutrients and can cause nutritional deficiencies. I'm in the unique position of having various nutrient levels either on the edge or deficient, which makes it so that I can very easily notice when something affects me. So I was experimenting with spinach, putting it in smoothies. The exact same smoothie every time, just the amount of spinach would change. When i got to 100g of spinach, I was already feeling an effect on my body with very similar symptoms as I would previously experience when some nutrients would become deficient. At 200g of spinach I had worse symptoms than in my worst days of being heavily deficient, so much so that I was bedbound for days, which luckily got corrected just by removing spinach. So forget about cancer or kidney stones which everyone talks about, in my experience, oxalates cause nutritional deficiencies. And it's safe to say that from nutritional deficiencies you can get all sorts of things going wrong in the body!!! 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Great channel! THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK. Anecdotal or NOT, HOWEVER for what it possibly may be worth. Within 45 days of going raw organic vegan drinking more than 32 fluid ounces per day of pure organic kale juice it got cancer. Being vegetarian off and on for 20 years then going pure possibly causing my cancer. Now I’m carnivorous mostly canned sardines. I feel great. Thanks for the great channel.
Large amounts of raw brassica will destroy your thyroid hormones instantly because of the glucosinolates. Large amounts of any one food are likely to be a bad idea. 2 pounds of kale juice per day looks a bit driven, to put it politely. Moderation and variety in food is always a good idea.
@@pattheplanter agreed 👍 I was feeling terrific AND I forgot to mention a major flaw that defends kale a bit possibly and that’s that I was hormonally AND congenitally predisposed to the cancer anyway EXCEPT I had already passed the point of probability. In other words the likelihood of getting that type of cancer at that age was extremely low BUT the juicing was exceptional and possibly made the difference and tipped the scales against me. I was also deathly reactive to some forms of glutamate that small amounts would cripple me for days. It was way worse than the chemo and the instant I went carno my vulnerability to MSG disappeared.
@@SkyRiver1 incorrect, because anecdotal evidence is also empirical evidence which is a very high value kind of evidence. Your understanding of anecdotal is flawed and so is your assertion. Anecdotal doesn’t mean meaningless your misunderstanding is all too common. Shame
As someone not well versed in the field, I am just curious. Was the amount injected into the animals an amount they could have consumed through normal diet, or was it a higher amount to make the results more distinct?
@goku445 is pointless to confirm if eating oxalates are cancerogineous, but gives information that these molecules can be harmfull in the wrong place and in the wrong situation, which makes it more appealing to investigate this further i think. It gives some information
This video currently has 539 comments and I don't have time to read through all of them, so I hope this isn't redundant. I'm not a research scientist who publishes papers, but our daughter is, and from what I can tell from her past experience, this paper ("Oxalate induces breast cancer") probably should never have been published without changes to the title and abstract to clearly indicate the use of immunocompromized mice right at the outset (I read the abstract and it also does not mention the use of immunocomromized mice). Leaving the title and abstract of the paper the way they were is sensationalism and I'm surprised the editors and/or reviewers let this pass. I get that the researchers were probably using immunocompromized mice for a reason, such as to amplify any effects, but that should have been clearly specified. I suspect a title like "Oxalate induces breast cancer in immunocompromized mice" might have garnered less attention.
I am currently cleaning and cutting a huge bag full of chard I harvested from my aunt's garden hours ago. The timing of your video could not have been better, haha. Thanks for this initially concerning, then increasingly reassuring video. Also, I'm a bit late to the party, but: Congratulations on your 100k milestone! (I watched the video, but postponed my reply.) Crazy how you've collected another 7k subscribers in the meantime. Compared to the the first 7 years of your journey, where you could (and occasionally would) keep track of every single subscription going up and down, haha. The consistency definitely paid off, and you kept your humility. So I'm super happy for your 'benign kind of channel mitosis', lol. Exponential growth is unintuitive to begin with, so it probably still feels a bit surreal that you've made the jump into the "health science mainstream" of RU-vid.
I would err on the side of caution with high-oxalate foods I am in my early sixties, and was eating an extremely high oxalate diet for years And, despite being a health buff,. I am currently dealing with breast cancer, kidney pelviectasis and hematuria, and previously had a hysterectomy due to several uterine fibroids (one weighing over 2 lbs.). I have arthritis (calcifications in my finger joints), and did have rather intense muscle soreness and stiffness for years - thankfully that has improved dramatically since I changed my diet (which was only recently)! Of course I can't prove that oxalates contributed to these conditions, but since we do know that oxalic acid is a toxin, it just isn't worth it when there are so many low-oxalate food substitutes!
@@eleanorsendeavors29 I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing your experience, and the word of caution. As you said, this might not necessarily have been the reason, or even a contributor, but still stands to reason as being a risk factor for a diet that is consistently high in oxalates. If you're still struggling with arthritis: I have an acquaintance that used to struggle with a strong form arthritis, up to the point of getting ulcers. She started drinking celery juice made with a juicer from organic celery stalks she gets delivered regularly to her doorstep. I know this is a mere testimonial. And you probably already heard of this celery juice fad. Apparently it got worse before it got better, but several weeks in her issues went away. She now is pain-free and her hands show no signs of arthritis, so something appears to be working. The science on it is still slim, but AFAIK there were some publications by now that found some unique benefits that might explain the (dangerously unscientific) "detox" effect.
@@eleanorsendeavors29 interesting comment... my experience is purely as anecdotal as yours... I wouldn't categorize my diet as high in oxalates, but high enough (loved my salads and definitely leaned towards more of a keto type diet, add to that very low fat). Not a health buff, but lived an active lifestyle (hiking, climbing, biking...). I also had a hysterectomy (a few years ago). I had adenomyosis and endometriosis and a fibroid that looked like a head growing out the front of my belly. My ob-gyn said that the average woman my age (47 at the time) had a uterus that weighed about 50 grams. Mine was over 200!
Fantastic video. I've had oxalates on my mind recently, largely after realizing how many I CONSUME in my diet. Parsley, specifically, is off the map. Raspberries are another...I am not cutting them out but I am taking pause and trying to be more aware of their presence in my diet. Thx for another great video!
Im not sure about the cancer stuff but problems from oxalates are real. People who downplay or even hand wave away the dangers of oxalates have not experienced oxalate poisoning and the mechanical damage oxalates can cause.
Can you elaborate? What are the potential risks (other than cancer) and warning signs? Is there a threshold so we can know to stay under? I legitimately didn’t know the “healthy” foods I am consuming has these dangers.
@@amperage8032 Look up Sally Norton videos. She might be a bit hyperbolic, but will give you a good idea. And Elliot Overton. Oxalates made me very sick. Average person (if there are any) can handle/process about 250 mg per day. 50 or less consider low-ox. Try to keep mine under 100 per day. You will "dump" stored oxalates (and suffer for it) if you go too low suddenly.
First time on this site. Good presentation and food for thought. No matter what I say, can't keep the neighbours out of our rhubarb patch during the Fall. Cheers.
I'm not sure whether it was Sally Norton's video or someone else, as there are many popping up on my YTube lately, but someone pointed out that the scientists in the early 1800's (or was it 1860s) figured out exactly why oxalates were dangerous to eat.
Disappointing that this did not address Thyroid Cancer or surgical removal of thyroid gland and supplementation with synthetic thyroid. Also, to what degree might oxalates facilitate arterial plaques and heart attacks? Or to what degree do oxalates form stones in the kidney that results in heart attacks as there is a renal-heart connection.
The fact that researchers that attempted to control for confounders didn't even think that the type of mice in the study could play a role (and should be diversified as well) and that type happened to also be immunodeficient is the most eyebrow-raising element of this whole ordeal. Pathetic really!
I would actually love an in depth video about that very topic. It's something rarely considered (or mentioned) when looking at scientific studies. I'm vaguely aware, that there are mice specifically bred for cancer research, but that's about it. How many different 'breeds' of laboratory mice are there? How do they differ and how does that affect results? Are there ever 'control groups' with mice bred for health and longevity?
@@raraavis7782There are MANY types of breeds, and they're often developed by modifying them with genes for human diseases, to study the molecular mechanisms of the disease and test treatments
Research has to start somewhere. Once something noteworthy is noted, the. The research can broaden out... which is something that they did. I have no idea why you are being so scornful. Chill.
@@thechloromancer3310 don't tell me to chill! That's none of your business! If you can't see why using immunodeficient mice to look for symptoms that are largely dependent on immune reactions, you need an ophthalmologist and more scientific training. Do you understand that research costs and bad research costs more? Who do you think pays when a team of idiots spend funding on BS research like that? It's the taxpayer, the consumer, you and me! Understood?
The vlogger here has narrated this post to give a thrilling 'twist' to the story - the mice were immunodeficient! - which makes it more entertaining, I guess. But in reality I suspect that the first choice of immunodeficient mice was to provide a strong signal in the data. Which they most certainly did get in this case. Then when they got that signal they were encouraged to go back and do the experiment again in more normal mice. Nothing pathetic here - you just got a glimpse inside the sausage factory.
To drink my beet juice or not drink my beet juice, that is the question. I swim 3-5 times per week. On those days only I put 30% beet juice / 70% water into my workout water bottle. The beet juice definitely helps with endurance and aerobic exercises. I get a very slight pause from this study, but except for beet juice 3-5 days per week, I'm not really doing other things (deliberately) to increase my oxalate levels. For example, I'm not doing "spinach smoothies" every single day.
oxalates from vegetables cause too many problems, my parents lost headaches due to stones and strangely my mother also got cancer... my mother is a big eater of vegetables and fruit, and unfortunately she is also pre diabetic...

Dr Gundry seems to fixate on some things which can be detrimental to just a few people, and then present it as a general problem for everyone. Oxylates is one such thing which only some people suffers from. Most of us handle normal levels without any problems. It's impossible to avoid it compleatly if you eat vegetables. I guess it's good, though, to know which things have too high levels, and not overindulge in them. Basically, I don't really listen much to Dr Gundry. Vegetables has a lot of good stuff, and always some of the bad stuff. But we have evolved to handle the bad stuff at reasonably levels. Some of the bad stuff even activate, or over-activate, the bodys protection mechanisms, and thus become good for us!
It's basically going to come down to the tradition of your family meals over time. How long have you been eating this way. Because after drinking lots of green spinach smoothies with chia seeds.

Could you look into oxalates and the effect on kidney health? As a precaution due to kidney disease in my relatives, I've opted to avoid oxalate rich foods like spinach. However you make the claim that cooking your food reduces the oxalate content, where did you cite this, what method of cooking and what percentage does it remove?
Boiling removes 30%-70% from potatos. I boil mine twice in filtered water. Must be similar with other plants. Oxalates are a tricky subject for me I have early signs of CKD so need to be really careful.
Oxalates benefit plants growing in acid soil tolerate what would otherwise be toxic levels of aluminum. Oxalates also seem to discourage some insect pests and grazers. About a third of plant families contain some percentage of oxalates.

If you have enough fat on your body don’t eat at all just drink water with potassium and salt. Cancer lives off of sugar and sometimes protein turns into sugar in your body too. But when your fasting your living off 100% fat. I just finished a 15 day water fast and lost 30lbs and got rid of my acid reflux and I’m off diabetic medication. You can literally go until you have no fat left on your body as long as you have electrolytes and water. Good luck.
Your gut biome affects your absorption of oxalates from the foods you eat. Lactobacillus and Oxalobacter are primary examples of bacteria that aid the body by breaking down oxalate salts in the digestive tract.
Good advice from anyone suffering from kidney stones. Also consuming dairy of some kind with meals containing oxalates helps them to bind with the molecules in the dairy which helps the body remove them out of the system. Any excuse to get the chees board out is a winner...pass the crackers Grommit...
I've got so many questions. We're these synthetic oxalates? Or extracted from green plants. If extracted, were the plants ever Sprayed with roundup or other Toxic chemicals? We're the samples tested for The presence of dioxin at One part per trillion? We're the food sources of each Group grown in the same soil? This data contradicts so many other studies, I don't even know where to start.
the problem with oxalates, among others, is that there is a great deal of disinformation on oxalate content. Here at the start you have lettuce with some high oxalate plants, but most if not all references to lettuce is that it is very low oxalate. Most oxalate information I have seen on youtube is contradictory or plain confusing.
First I've heard that oxalates cause osteoporosis and other health issues which I'm skeptical about the osteoporosis part but I've never heard that they cause cancer I've only heard that fruits and veggies prevent cancer because most foods that contain oxalates are fruits and veggies
People fear monger on bad science, that's half the battle. They don't cause arthritis. Then you'll have Dr. Lustig tell you that fructose is going to kill you, but that it's ok in fruit form because fiber. Too much fear mongering.
I had health issues for years that were debilitating for many days each week. I discovered Sally Norton, read her stuff on oxalates, cut my oxalates down SLOWLY, as you must, and my new found health is astounding. Will never go back to the almond, spinach, potato, tomato overload I used to eat, thinking it was all healthy.
Oxalates bind to calcium in the gut. If you have insufficient calcium intake, it can lead to kidney stones. I had not heard about the osteoporosis connection, though it is incredibly plausible given the way it interacts in the body.
@@channeldoesnotexist but I've talked to women that told me they reverse their osteoporosis by eating beans nuts seeds tofu lots of vegetables with some animal foods like dairy and fish well cooked and prepared because of the vitamins and minerals because minerals are very important to bones as well as protein, I don't eat these foods without properly cooking them soaking steaming well cooked I'm now convinced that vegetables are more nutritious than fruits but t fruits are better tasting
Injecting high dose oxalates into breast tissue is only observational. You need to include the metabolic action involved in the digestive process, storage and elimination to justify all the facts. In addition, depending on genetics and blood mutations these studies are Not conclusive without.
Thank you for the excellent presentation on the oxalate study. My husband is really paranoid about eating any food with oxalates. Oh, the horror when he finds out our bodies produce them. :D
He maybe already knows that. Anyway, the anecdotal evidence against eating too much oxalic acid is striking. If he's wrong, oh well... If you're wrong, you'll pay with your health and well being...
How about kidney health? I would love you to put some content out there and how to deal with it? Some say consuming yogurt will offset the oxalate negative impact.Would love to know your opinion.
@@KJ-um1gq I did but why kidney doctors suggest stay away from oxalate if you are genetically prone to kidney stone? My question was for that not the cancer.
I love that you mentioned Endogenous oxalate production there at the end. I have wondered what if the oxalates found in human breast cancer tissue had nothing to do with ingested oxalates, but rather from endogenous oxalates made by the body via Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH). Some cancers are known to grow when the body is in Reductive Stress and high NADH to NAD+ ratio. (BTW, NADH is also made via Lactate Dehydrogenase)
Your content is always fascinating, and I love your delivery. If you were ever inclined, could you present your thoughts on the effects of collagen on cancer. Collagen supplements are such a large industry currently, and I wonder if they have any added concerns for people who have had cancer. Thank you
I read a study that suggests cancer uses collagen fibers as a scaffold to move to different organs. Yes, I would love his deep dive on this subject as well. I had been taking marine collagen for at least a year and developed breast cancer. It does run in the family, so the collagen could have been a coincidence. I stopped taking the collagen for several months and started again because it really helped my joints feel better due to taking Letrozole for hormone suppression, which is horrible for bone and joints.
This looks to me like what happens when you don't get a balanced diet. Lots of things are toxic if you ingest enough of them. But it will be useful information nonetheless -- what I want to see is much more than breast location vs non-breast location about what other points of interaction are being missed here that might put oxalates into a position to cause trouble or something to that effect.
if oxalates were really feeding cancer, then my mom’s friend must have performed a miracle because she fed her dog veggies and beans and caused the cancer to go into remission.
Unless that dog had breast cancer it’s completely unrelated to this study. Use your brain and think for a second as to whether it’s really the vegetables that put cancer into remission or if it’s the fact the dog was no longer eating ultra processed dog food which is also known as kibble. Kibble has cancer causing ingredients and is high in carbohydrates which spikes insulin. Insulin is essential to growth of cancer cells. The reality is, your friend has no idea if it was cutting out the garbage that saved the dog or if it was the vegetables. Plants are also not a species appropriate diet for dogs, feeding them that is slowly stripping them of nutrients so essentially starving the dog and at the same time the cancer cells lol. Same reason cancer patients do so well with IMF.
If you imagine cancer being MORE sensitive to poisons than other cells, as it focuses on cell division rather than protective mechanisms, it may work kinda like chemotherapy. However, veggues have shown to be HEALTHY, unlike chemo
Feed and injecting are two different things. Eating goes through the digestive system, where a detoxification occurs. Injecting goes straight into the bloodstream. Also whenever you go from highly processed foods(dog food included) to something less processed(veggies/beans) you're lessening the toxicity going into the body. So the body might have time to heal but long term veggies and beans for animals is detrimental. Dogs are carnivores. Most animals, including humans are meant to eat meat. Most of the foods that we have today weren't even around 200 years ago. When I was growing up, I've never heard anyone's pets have cancer. This is a recent thing.
Well first, you wouldn't know why exactly the cancer went into remission. For all you know the cancer would have gone away faster without the veggies and beans. Second, don't feed dogs veggies and beans. It's not good for them. It's probably bad for humans, but for dogs it's just insane.
Injecting mice with purified oxalate and then comparing to humans eating plants with oxalate is utterly strange and sounds more like what see on FOX news.
This is where the problem lies. They can pretty much inject any natural substances at high concentration and and see effects for some of them. They can papers published and get promoted, but what do they really advance? NOTHING! They add more fear and confusion. How are these scientists or youtubers any different from greedy pharma companies that hide truth or even tell lies to make money?@@nameofthegame9664
10:59 FYI , HEK293 are now ( since mid 2000 ) known to have more of a neuronal phenotype ( Stepanenko et al. 2015) than kidney as they express neuronal protein such as neurofilament (Shaw et al. 2002) Nav1.x neuronal Na+ channels (He et al. 2011)… due to the use of adenovirus type 5 with neuronal tropism to generate them ( Shaw et al 2002). I’ve done some oncology assay and we never use HEK293 as they are not isolated from cancer patient but made artificially cancerous to keep them growing in culture so I would take the data with a grain of salt.
An EPIC-Oxford study from 2016 showed no difference whether you were vegan, vegetarian or a meat eater. Vegetarians did have a lower rate of pancreatic and lymphatic cancers but for all other cancers the rate was the same. For vegans there was no significant difference between them and meat eaters for any form of cancer.
Great info! I don't agree with the title though. Misleading for people that just read titles and store it in their archives as truth. Maybe put a question mark at the end? RU-vid clickbait titles can damage more than people think.
