Dairy and eggs form the safest corner of the database: nearly every item measures under 5 mg of oxalate, and most are at zero. Dairy also delivers the two things a stone diet needs most — calcium that binds oxalate in the gut, and fluid volume. The calcium-in-food (not calcium-supplement) message from the NKF and AUA is exactly why this category is foundational: milk, yogurt, and cheese protect against stones while being effectively oxalate-free. For stone patients, this is the category to build meals around rather than restrict.
