โ“ Frequently Asked Questions

Should I avoid Pork if I have kidney stones?

It's fine. Pork has 0 mg of oxalate per 3 slices. That's low enough that kidney stone patients don't really need to worry about it. Harvard did the measuring, not us.

What's the oxalate content of Pork?

Quick math: 3 slices of Pork = 0 mg oxalate. 100g = 0 mg. Both numbers come from Harvard's latest lab measurements. Not AI, not a database, actual lab work.

Is Pork low or high oxalate?

Nope. Pork is a low-oxalate food โ€” just 0 mg per 3 slices. Well under the 25 mg cutoff. You're in the clear with this one.

What can I eat instead of Pork?

The easiest move: swap Pork for any ๐ŸŸข Safe food in the related foods grid. They're all under 25 mg per serving and verified by Harvard's 2024 data. Problem solved.

How much sodium does Pork have?

Sodium's not the issue here. Pork has 78 mg per 100g โ€” comfortably low. No need to worry about salt pushing extra calcium into your urine with this food.

Does Pork have a lot of animal protein?

It has animal protein, which increases kidney stone risk through uric acid and calcium in urine. Not a reason to eliminate it โ€” just a reason to watch portions. AUA says about 3 oz per meal.
