Asparagus can cause a very nasty form of kidney stone, see:



Sorry to hear of your condition Bob.

For people with a history of kidney stones, doctors usually recommend
passing at least 2 1/2 quarts of urine a day.

To do this, you'll need to
drink about 3 1/2 quarts (14 cups) of fluids every day - and even more if
you live in a hot, dry climate. Although most liquids count, water is best.

I drink at least a gallon a day, mostly water


In addition, if you tend to form calcium stones - a combination of calcium
and oxalate - your doctor may recommend restricting foods rich in oxalates.
These include meats - especially organ meats, such as liver and kidneys

Never touch the stuff Yuck!

-
chicken,

Well we eat lots of chicken

fish such as herring and anchovies,

That aint fish thats bait!

and asparagus,

Oh well a man without vice is a man without virtue.


berries,
chocolate, cooked spinach,

Love em all!

Swiss chard and rhubarb.

Ill pass


What's more, studies
show that an overall diet low in salt and very low in animal protein can
greatly reduce your chance of developing kidney stones.


Well if you eat rice cakes and drink water, most likely you will not
get Kidney stones either. But who wants to?

Jim Cate,

Since your the only Texan here since that guy who did bad bottom job
cartoons (which I meet sailing one day) Im inviting you over for some
angus ribeyes, merlot wine and my secret grilled aspergrass. The
steaks will cut like butter and you will be amazed with all the fixins
Miss Terry can come up with. After dinner we can have a brandy or 8, a
fine Romeo & Juliet cuban cigar and enjoy the best sunset view that
ClearLake has to offer. If you like, we will dink up into the wildlife
refuge. Bring the little lady along, and we will even fix some grub
for the little ones if you can not find a sitter.

Let me know.

Best Regards,

Joe
