❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I eat Juice with kidney stones?

Bad news if you love Juice: 485 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?

The lab result: 485 mg per 1 cup (240g serving). That's 202 mg per 100g. Harvard's ion chromatography analysis, 2024. Not crowdsourced, not estimated.

Is Juice high in oxalates?

High. At 485 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?

Look at the 'Safe Alternatives' section right below this FAQ. Those foods are all under 25 mg oxalate per serving and in the same category as Juice. Pick from those.

Is Juice a good drink for kidney stones?

For beverages, 485 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.

How much sodium does Juice have?

Sodium's not the issue here. Juice has 10 mg per 100g — comfortably low. No need to worry about salt pushing extra calcium into your urine with this food.

Can I eat Juice if I pair it with dairy?

The calcium trick works: dietary calcium + oxalate in the same meal = some of the oxalate gets bound up and pooped out instead of absorbed. So yes, have dairy with Juice. Same meal timing matters.
