Besides the nutrition values we need other dietary values

I would like to see other kind of nutritional values such as oxalate on here. I have kidney stones and I am not allowed to have food with high oxalate and would love this added to this app. That way I can have all my low oxalate added along with calories and fat. Is anyone else wanting this? It would great help.

    Since most entries are created by users from nutritional labels, this wouldn't be practical. Oxalate isn't listed on nutritional labels in the US, so it wouldn't be included in most database entries.

    I would make myself very familiar with low oxalate foods instead of relying on the app to tell you.
    As Jane mentioned, because it's not required on nutrition labels theres no way for mfp to add/track it.
