Author Q: parsley and kidney stones?

Does eating a lot of parsley (say, 1 bunch of parsley per day)
contribute to kidney stones in a significant way?
Supposedly, parsley contains a lot of oxalic acid which combines with
dietary calcium and causes formation of kidney stones.

That would be a bummer, as parsley contains such high levels of
nutrients.

Thanks

That's one of the major problems with K stones,, many of the things that
are good for you, can add to the cause of them, things like turnip
greens, and peppers help make mine, and those things are great for you,
tea is another thing I've had to cut out.

I understand if you drink a couple of beers everyday, they will flush
out the stuff enough to reduce your stones
