A single serving of Greek yogurt might only give you 180 milligrams of calcium. You need at least 1,000 milligrams every single day. Many of you tell us you eat yogurt and assume your calcium needs are met. It barely scratches the surface. We break down where yogurt actually fits into your plan to prevent kidney stones. We look at Greek yogurt, non-dairy options, and the sneaky sugars in flavored brands.

We also explain why calcium is your best tool against oxalate. When you eat calcium with your food, it binds to oxalate in your gut. That combined molecule is too big to pass into your blood. It leaves your body in your stool instead of forming stones in your kidneys. You will learn how to check labels on plant-based yogurts and how to naturally sweeten plain yogurt with fresh berries to hit your daily goals.
