I haven't been eating yogurt or cheese lately(I wish I could but the stuff always makes me "muscous-y" maybe casein sensitivity) anyways, Which greens are the highest in calcium content, but low in oxalates? Also as a side note which ones don't make your teeth "fuzzy" lol (some of you here mention that spinach, bananas and other foods make your teeth fuzzy")
