Is this what’s been causing your kidney stones?
Today we’re going to talk about kidney stones and mineral water. Will drinking mineral water cause kidney stones?
The most common type of kidney stone is the calcium oxalate type. When you consume calcium, whether from water, food, or as a supplement—that calcium will bind with oxalates from the food that you’re consuming. When calcium binds with oxalates in your digestive system, it will not get absorbed and transfer into your blood, ending up in your kidney as a kidney stone.
When you consume calcium, you’re actually decreasing your risk of getting a kidney stone. So, will drinking mineral water cause kidney stones? No.

| 0:00.0 | So if you guys have any questions whatsoever about keto or in a minute fasting, |
| 0:04.4 | whether you're starting keto as a new person or just need to debug your program or we have a question about a product. |
| 0:10.5 | Call one of our keto consultants. They'll be able to help you. Call 5405.7. |
| 0:29.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Someone brought up this question, will drinking mineral water cause kidney stones? |
| 0:49.0 | Let's talk about it. Now the most common type of kittystone is the calcium oxlet type. So when you |
| 0:58.2 | consume calcium, whether from water, from food, or as a supplement, that calcium goes into the stomach into the small |
| 1:07.3 | intestine and actually it will bind with oxlets from the food that you're consuming. |
| 1:13.4 | So when calcium binds with oxlets in your digestive system, |
| 1:18.0 | it will not get absorbed |
| 1:20.1 | and transfer over into your blood and end up in a kidney as a stone. |
| 1:25.0 | So in reality, when you're taking calcium or consuming calcium from the food |
| 1:29.5 | or getting it from your water, |
| 1:31.2 | you're actually decreasing the risk of getting a kidney stone |
| 1:35.2 | because you're going to bind up the oxlets in the digestive system and prevent it from ending up in the kidney. |
| 1:41.7 | So to answer this question, it's a big fat, no. |
| 1:46.0 | Now, foods that are high in oxlets |
| 1:49.0 | are the almonds, spinach, rhubarb, kiwi, if you're in kido, you're not going to be eating kiwis, |
| 1:57.0 | beets, chocolate, and there's quite a few other ones. |
| 2:00.0 | So you can do a couple of things. You can avoid some of the foods that are high in oxlets if you're a stone former. |
| 2:05.0 | And if you do eat some of these foods, you can take calcium with it because the calcium in the meal will bind with the oxlets and actually not end up as a stone. |
| 2:16.6 | So if you are going to do that, I would avoid taking calcium carbonate, okay? |
| 2:21.9 | Because it's very hard for your body to break that down. |
