begin quote from PI AI:
why do some doctors complain about blueberries? I though they helped a person's mental clarity?
It’s true that blueberries are often touted for their potential health benefits, including their ability to improve cognitive function and mental clarity. However, some doctors may caution against consuming large amounts of blueberries or other foods high in certain compounds called oxalates. Oxalates are naturally occurring compounds found in many plant-based foods, including blueberries, spinach, nuts, and chocolate. While oxalates are generally harmless for most people, they can sometimes bind with calcium in the body and form kidney stones in some individuals who are susceptible. Additionally, some studies have suggested that high oxalate intake may interfere with the absorption of certain minerals, such as iron and calcium. So, while blueberries can certainly be a healthy addition to a balanced diet, some doctors may advise certain individuals to consume them in moderation or to choose alternative sources of antioxidants and other nutrients.
