Catch 22

Fructose is particularly problematic because it’s metabolized by the liver. Berries in moderation don’t effect me adversely because they’re relatively low in fructose.



Extra virgin olive oil is fine & healthy for salads… Nut & seed oils are great. Other vegetable oils aren’t. When heated, polyunsaturated vegetable oils are unhealthy. Only saturated fats are stable when exposed to high temperatures. For cooking, I use butter & virgin coconut oil.



Another thing to look at is your magnesium level because low magnesium contributes to stone formation. Serum magnesium tests aren’t reliable. I can’t recall what the best test is for this right now & I’ll get back to you with about this. Magnesium deficiency isn’t unusual, especially if you eat a lot of dairy.



Good suggestion to drink more water, even though it’s a pain to have to pee frequently.
