❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I eat Juice with kidney stones?

Bad news if you love Juice: 496 mg per 1 cup. That's many times what's considered safe. If kidney stones are your concern, this one's not your friend. Look for swaps.

What's the oxalate content of Juice?

496 mg — that's the oxalate in a standard 1 cup of Juice. For the 100g comparison freaks: 198 mg. Source is Harvard's 2024 food analysis project.

Is Juice low or high oxalate?

High. At 496 mg per 1 cup, Juice is a high-oxalate food. Harvard's 2024 data puts this firmly in the avoid zone for stone formers.

What can I eat instead of Juice?

Substitutes exist. The safe alternatives listed below are all low-oxalate foods in the same family as Juice. Grab one of those and you dodge the oxalate while keeping similar flavors.

Is Juice a good drink for kidney stones?

For beverages, 496 mg oxalate per serving puts Juice in the avoid category. Most of your daily fluids should still be water. This one's an occasional drink, not your hydration strategy.

Does boiling Juice reduce the oxalate?

Boil it. Drain it. That's the move. For Juice, boiling and discarding the cooking water removes about a third to half of the soluble oxalate. Don't reuse that water for anything.

How much sodium does Juice have?

The sodium level is fine — 10 mg/100g. If all your foods looked like this on sodium, you'd be in great shape for stone prevention.
