An example of a food that may increase urinary oxalate levels is
a. a ginger cookie.
b. a cinnamon roll.
c. a blueberry muffin.
d. strawberry shortcake.
D
Strawberries are one of the eight foods (spinach, rhubarb, beets, nuts, chocolate, tea, wheat bran, and strawberries) that cause significant increases in urinary oxalate excretion; therefore straw-berry shortcake may increase urinary oxalate levels. Ginger cookies, cinnamon rolls, and blueberry muffins would not increase urinary oxalate levels.
