Eating too many almonds linked to higher risk of kidney stone formation; study
Almonds, rich in oxalates, are linked to kidney stone formation when consumed excessively, especially for susceptible individuals. High oxalate intake can elevate urinary oxalate levels, increasing the risk. Moderation, hydration, and pairing with calcium-rich foods are key to safely enjoying almonds while minimizing stone risk. Balancing almond consumption with a varied diet supports overall kidney health.
