"Individual Concerns Lemon and Lime Peels and Oxalates The peels of lemons and limes are among a small number of foods that contain measurable amounts of oxalates, naturally-occurring substances found in plants, animals, and human beings. When oxalates become too concentrated in body fluids, they can crystallize and cause health problems. For this reason, individuals with already existing and untreated kidney or gallbladder problems may want to avoid eating lemon or lime peels. Laboratory studies have shown that oxalates may also interfere with absorption of calcium from the body. Yet, in every peer-reviewed research study we've seen, the ability of oxalates to lower calcium absorption is relatively small and definitely does not outweigh the ability of oxalate-containing foods to contribute calcium to the meal plan. If your digestive tract is healthy, and you do a good job of chewing and relaxing while you enjoy your meals, you will get significant benefits—including absorption of calcium—from calcium-rich foods plant foods that also contain oxalic acid. Ordinarily, a healthcare practitioner would not discourage a person focused on ensuring that they are meeting their calcium requirements from eating these nutrient-rich foods because of their oxalate content. For more on this subject, please see "Can you tell me what oxalates are and in which foods they can be found?" http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=27 CF- dx at 2yrs. 2nd double lung tx-05 Debra Fertel MD- Jackson Memorial Hospital Si Pham MD, Professor of Surgery Anas Hadeh MD, Cleveland Clinic, Weston, Florida Cystic Fibrosis consultant- Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Join Facebook Hostess Rise's blog My Photos on Transplant Friends
