Kidney stones, 80% of the time, 85% of the time, they are calcium oxalate stones.  Where do you get oxalates from?  Plants.  You can actually look up on the internet "give me a list of high oxalate foods," and it'll give me the top 20.  They're all plants.  So many people when they have a kidney stone, their doctor tells them, "Oh, you got to quit eating meat.  Don't drink milk.  You got to eat a plant-based diet."  That's literally the worst advice on planet Earth.  If you've had a kidney stone in the past, a plant-based diet is the last thing you want to be eating because that's going to increase the odds that you'll have another kidney stone because most kidney stones by far and away are oxalate stones.  Oxalates come from plants.  --Dr. Ken Berry
