Why Most Oxalate Lists Fall Short

Free PDF lists you find online typically use a single data source — often the outdated USDA 1984 study that reported dry-weight values. A single dry-weight measurement can overstate oxalate by 10-40x compared to the food as you actually eat it.

Multi-Source Consensus Algorithm

Instead of trusting a single lab measurement, we aggregate data from multiple peer-reviewed sources and compute a consensus value.

Collect

Gather measurements from Harvard, Wake Forest, OHF, Siener, and 12+ other peer-reviewed sources.

Filter

Identify and exclude dry-weight outliers that overstate values by 10-40x compared to fresh-weight.

Compute

Calculate the median of remaining values. Median resists the pull of any single extreme measurement.

Full Source Transparency

Every food detail page includes a collapsible Source Breakdown showing each measurement source, its reported value, and whether it used fresh-weight or dry-weight methodology. You can verify exactly how we arrived at the consensus value.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many foods are in the database?
The database currently contains 2,500+ foods across 14 categories including vegetables, fruits, grains, proteins, dairy, beverages, spices, condiments, sweets, commercial products, supplements, fats, legumes, and nuts.
Where does the data come from?
We aggregate data from peer-reviewed research including Harvard, Oxalate Hunters Foundation, Wake Forest, MDPI 2023, KidneyCop, Siener studies, and more. Each food's value is a multi-source consensus, not a single measurement.
What is the consensus algorithm?
For foods with multiple measurements, we compute the median value after excluding dry-weight outliers (which can be 10-40x higher than fresh-weight). This prevents inflated values from a single lab measurement.
How are risk levels determined?
Risk levels are based on oxalate per 100g: LOW (<25mg), MODERATE (25-99mg), HIGH (100-299mg), and VERY HIGH (300+mg). We also show per-serving values based on standard portions.
Can I see which sources measured each food?
Yes! Every food detail page includes a Source Breakdown accordion showing each measurement source, its value, and whether it's a fresh-weight or dry-weight measurement.
Is the database different from free online lists?
Yes. Most free lists use a single source (often the outdated USDA 1984 data which reported dry-weight values). OxalateGuard cross-references multiple modern sources and filters out dry-weight outliers to give you more accurate, actionable values.
