“A pound or two each week”

Thats your problem right there. The next step up from peanut butter, in terms of calories (particularly fats) per kg is actual butter or lard. Its about 50% fat.

I imagine the rest is second hand regurgitation of info they dont really understand.

As a gym rat and bicyclist i was having health issues. No drugs or alcohol. Lots of supplements.

I went oxalate free on a zero carb diet for several years and it fixed my auto immune disorder. I lost 30 pounds of muscle in the process because of a loss in appetite. I slowly readded foods into my diet. Turned out that I couldn’t handle salicylates in large amounts. It’s in most plants as well. 3% of the population shares my intolerance. We can’t eat spices or herbs.

All humans have individual variances in our ability to process plant toxins. There’s a reason why some people are more prone to kidney stones than others. It doesn’t mean someone is unhealthy.

It’s my go-to when I run out of peanut butter.

The word “liver” doesn’t appear in the Wikipedia article.

As for oxalates:

wp:Oxalate:

Several plant foods such as the root and/or leaves of spinach, rhubarb, and buckwheat are high in oxalic acid and can contribute to the formation of kidney stones in some individuals. Other oxalate-rich plants include fat hen (“lamb’s quarters”), sorrel, and several Oxalis species (also sometimes called sorrels). The root and/or leaves of rhubarb and buckwheat are high in oxalic acid.[14] Other edible plants with significant concentrations of oxalate include, in decreasing order, star fruit (carambola), black pepper, parsley, poppy seed, amaranth, chard, beets, cocoa, chocolate, most nuts, most berries, fishtail palms, New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides), and beans.[citation needed] Leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) contain among the greatest measured concentrations of oxalic acid relative to other plants. However, the drink derived by infusion in hot water typically contains only low to moderate amounts of oxalic acid due to the small mass of leaves used for brewing.[citation needed]

but no mention of peanuts in the main or talk page.

The doctor might be wrong.

I suspect peanut falls under the “most nuts” part, right after cocoa and chocolate

A pound or two a week sounds kind of moderate? I mean it’s a lot, but if you like peanut butter? I don’t eat nearly that much of it on average, but when I buy a 1 pound jar I usually finish it off in much less than a week. It’s just an occasional thing for me though.

Are those oxalates only if the PB is getting spoiled or anything like that?

Its the consistency with which they would eat at least a pound of it a week that caused the problem.

Quite how something thats 50% fat can be sold as a health food is the real puzzle here.
