Eating tofu will cause kidney stones?

　　Recently，someone ask me, eating tofu will cause kidney stones? In fact, eating tofu can't cause the kidney stone. The main reason of kidney stones is the body of calcium, oxalate, phosphate and other substances increased. When the concentration of these components in the urine becomes high and concentrated aggregation occurs, it will form kidney stones. In soybeans,the main substances in stones related to are oxalic acid, purine and calcium. But in the processing process, these ingredients will be different changes. Soy soaked, most of the purine is removed, tofu contains a lot of water, will further dilute the purine. And while calcium-rich foods are helping to reduce the risk of stones.

It maybe because the calcium in food can be combined with oxalic acid to avoid excessive oxalic acid into the blood and urine. Kidney stones patients do not have to worry about eating tofu will aggravate the condition. It should be noted that patients with kidney stones should to drink plenty of water, the amount of intake of egg milk and other high-quality protein, eat less salt and spinach, asparagus, peanuts, soy flour and other foods rich in oxalic acid.
