Just to add a bit more.

Potassium oxalate acts in a manner similar to all the oxlalates and oxalic
acid. it does its nasty by creating calcium oxalate in the blood, which is
a insoluable precipitate. It jams up your kidneys and then you die.
Treatment is put an EDTA chelate in your blood. Calcium and iron are
cousins and chelation works on both, so they cure you like they were
clearing a platinum print. Well, hopefully they cure you, death is quite
painful as your blood fills up with nasties that should have gone out in
your urine.

Oxalic acid is a weak organic acid and it, and the oxalates occur commonly
in food. It is the compound that makes greens bitter. Your body make
chelates to naturally to combat the kidney jamming problem. There is
enough oxalate in 15 lbs of spinach to kill you. It is also why they cut
off the leaves from rhubarb.

Poison is a word we should eliminate from our language. It confuses more
than it communicates. Some things with lots of poisons are good for you.
