Hi Johanne, Great suggestion! While oxalates could be a concern for an individual person at the population level we don't see it in the data. For example, we don't see any credible data of this being an issue in the Mediterranean diet, traditional Asian diet, any of the Blue Zone diets of the longest lived people, hunter gatherer diets like the Tsimane people, etc. In fact all of these diets have been shown in countless studies to promote health and longevity and a life mostly free of cardiovascular disease. All the best, John
Thanks for reading and commenting! I've seen intermittent fasting work extremely well for some of my patients. It all depends on the individual and what they eat when they aren't fasting. Glad to hear the AFib Cure is still at the top of your nonfiction favorites!!!
I have been eating vegetables, legumes and wholegrain bread, the last 20 years. Now recently read that much of it is full of oxalate, and that this is dangerous for your health.
This was interesting and to me reminded me of a few things. 1. Fasting religiously for 16 hours a day is akin to a fad diet. Anything religiously makes me stressed. 2. Everyone has different health priorities but heart priorities all require the same basic rules: don’t eat too much fat or chemical food, no matter when you eat. And more important than what not to eat are the things I need to eat. Everybody knows what these are. Our mothers told us growing up. 3. Sufficient restful sleep happens early and a long time after the body has done the digesting work for the day and the mind has done its hard work too. Thanks for your consistent comments … the Cure for Afib remains at the top of my nonfiction favorites.

Could you please write about that sometime?
