  saturation
• Excessive salt intake increases the calcium in
  urine and decreases the oxalates.
• Excessive refined, carbohydrate, caffeine or
  alcohol intake increases the calcium in the urine
  and alcoholics also have increased uric acid
• Low intake of fruits and vegetables decreases
  citrate in the urine and produces acidic urine
  more conducive for stone formation.
