They prolly got it from this USDA page, which tbh seems a bit suspect: https://web.archive.org/web/20090723182448/http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/Other/oxalic.html … That being said, eating 6kg of raw carrots in one sitting sounds... somewhat challenging, tbh.
-
Indeed challenging, but uncomfortably close to plausible. Not sure if 3kg of spinach is more or less plausible.
-
Also that 600mg/kg is an LD_{Lo}, not an LD50. Given its toxicity is due to precipitating out in the kidney & thus being nephrotoxic, I'd imagine there to be a wide variation in toxic doses among people.
-
Oh, I misread that Lo as 50 due to small text. That makes a lot more sense. And yeah the mechanism is fairly un-scary.
