In this conversation, Jeff Sarris and Jill Harris discuss the implications of consuming almonds, particularly in relation to kidney stones. They explore the role of oxalates in kidney stone formation, the importance of dietary adjustments, and the need for proper guidance in managing kidney health. The discussion emphasizes the balance between healthy eating and the potential risks associated with overconsumption of certain foods, particularly almonds and spinach.TakeawaysAlmonds are often considered healthy but can contribute to kidney stones.Oxalates found in almonds can lead to high levels in urine, increasing stone risk.Dieticians may not always provide specific advice on oxalate levels.Many people overconsume healthy foods, thinking more is better.It's essential to monitor oxalate levels in urine to prevent kidney stones.Reference ranges for oxalate levels in urine may be misleading.Dietary changes can significantly lower oxalate levels and prevent stones.Almonds and spinach are commonly removed from kidney stone diets.Other nuts can be consumed in moderation as alternatives to almonds.Education on kidney health and diet is crucial for prevention.00:00 Understanding Almonds and Kidney Stones06:25 Dietary Recommendations for Kidney Stone Prevention——When you're ready, here's how I can helpSince 1998, I've helped thousands of patients prevent kidney stones.

The United States Supreme Court by a vote of 6 to 3 has struck down President Trump's tariffs, to the relief of most farmers who have experienced severe financial losses and rising costs of farm inputs. The 2025 tariffs, imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IIEPA) covered nearly all trading partners, but China faced rates exceeding 100 percent. In response, Beijing escalated retaliatory duties on key agricultural imports. Almonds were hit with a 45 percent tariff.  As a result American Agriculture has suffered, especially soybeans in the Corn Belt. In California alone  agricultural exports to China collapsed with the total value of 13 major commodities dropping 57 percent, according to research at UC Davis.. California Congressmen Jim Costa, MIke Thompson and John Garamendi met with California farmers the week of the Supreme Court ruling where there were expressions of strong opposition to the Trump imposed trade wars. House Ag Committee member, Congressman Jim Costa explained the implications of the trade issue and the scheduled mark up to the proposed Farm Bill that is getting underway.  Here are Congressman Costa's opening remarks to the farmers and a follow-up exchange with Congressman Thompson at a farmer meeting at the Yolo County Farm Bureau Office in Woodland California.

You can toss them in a salad, ground them into flour, use them for a healthy alternative to milk, or just munch on a few for an afternoon snack. Almonds are among the most versatile and delicious of nuts. Filled with vitamin E, magnesium, and fiber. Almonds appear in several passages of the Hebrew Bible--reflecting their early importance as a cultivated tree and symbol in the 6th century BC.  Eighty percent of the world's almonds are grown in California. If you aren't a fan of eating almonds, try celebrating almonds in their other forms--like an almond-based lotion or shampoo, or perfume. If you suffer from dry, flaky, or irritated skin, you can apply almond oil or almond lotions to hydrate your skin and give you a dose of vitamin A.

The agricultural industry faces unprecedented challenges, from shifting commodity markets to labor shortages and automation. In a recent AgNet News Hour interview, Nick Foglio of Foglio Commodities shared timely insights into hay markets, wine trends, raisin and nut production, and what California growers must do to stay competitive. Hay and Dairy Market Trends Foglio opened with a look at the 2025 hay market, where soft commodity prices and oversupply have shaped the season. Favorable canola and soybean meal pricing allowed dairies to supplement feed at reduced costs, while wet winters added cheaper dry-land feed, softening the market further. The first half of the year saw resistance due to imported hay inventory, but the second half required price corrections and higher volume movement. One bright spot was dry cow alfalfa, which outperformed 2024 thanks to less low-quality weed hay available. With milk prices softening and exportable inventory staying in-state, Folio expects continued pressure on hay pricing going into winter. Wine Market Shifts Alcohol consumption continues to decline, particularly among older drinkers and younger consumers who are increasingly health-focused or shifting toward cannabis alternatives. Foglio sees single-serve packaging as a strong opportunity for drawing new wine consumers by reducing the commitment of a full bottle. His advice for new wine drinkers: Choose California wines for quality and local support Explore flavors to identify their preferred white or red Visit local wineries for tasting and education For the wine market to grow, Foglio says the industry must shed its elitist reputation and present wine as casual, accessible, and versatile for everyday dining and gatherings. Raisins, Almonds, and Pistachios: Vertical Integration Required Discussing raisins and permanent crops, Foglio stresses that the future belongs to vertically integrated operations. Modern, profitable raisin production now requires: Growing one's own fruit Owning and maintaining equipment Controlling storage and processing Managing direct-to-retail sales Without this structure, staying competitive becomes difficult. Foglio highlights Sun-Maid and National Raisin as examples of operations thriving through innovation and strong marketing. Almonds and pistachios remain profitable markets, but Foglio warns that overplanting could soften pricing. Growers must carefully assess whether to maintain current orchards, replant, or diversify into alternative crops based on return-on-investment outlooks. Labor, Automation, and Rising Costs Labor remains a top pressure point. With California's minimum wage increasing, more farms are turning to automation and mechanization. But Folio warns that growers must evaluate ROI carefully: expensive tech with a short lifespan—much like wind turbine investments—may not justify its cost. Growers must make immediate, ROI-positive decisions, balancing labor shortages with the need for efficiency and long-term operational sustainability. Managing Change in Agriculture Foglio's closing message is clear: agriculture is at a crossroads. Success in today's environment requires: Flexible sourcing and pricing in soft hay markets More approachable marketing to grow the wine industry Strong vertical integration for raisins, almonds, and pistachios Careful, ROI-driven adoption of automation Growers who adapt, innovate, and invest wisely will be best positioned to meet the evolving challenges of California agriculture.

Hump Day is here and we're once again digging out. Feels like we've gotten some snow almost every day for the last week. It was that heavy, wet stuff last night. Yuck. In the news this morning, an update on tonight's Powerball drawing, some new license plates in WI, a person in Door County was trying to use a flashlight for a headlight on their vehicle, and a social media ban for kids in Australia. Lots of stuff going on this morning! We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and we talked about how movie theaters can help increase attendance in the future. Plus, we made our Week 15 Pigskin Picks! Speaking of Week 15, we took a look at the NFC North schedule for this weekend's action. And also in sports, the Badger men's basketball team takes on undefeated Nebraska tonight, the Bucks are at home against the Celtics tomorrow night, Philip Rivers is officially on the Colts again, Trey Hendrickson had surgery earlier this week and is done for the season, Kyle Schwarber gets a deal from the Phillies and Edwin Diaz is moving to L.A. Talked about some "Soft Skills" that can help you get a job in the new year. And a list of common tropes in Christmas movies and how to avoid them. This time of year, it's important to remember that you should try to shovel out the fire hydrants in your neighborhood, like this 9 year-old in Iowa. And a NYC doorman is going viral for collecting toys & warm clothing for people in need during the holiday season. Elsewhere in sports, the White Sox scored the #1 overall pick in the upcoming MLB draft, the NHL players might skip the 2026 Olympics if they don't think the ice is safe enough, and the Notre Dame AD is getting called out by the Big 12 Commissioner. New term for people who aren't quite a full introvert or extrovert. We're supposed to call them "otroverts" now. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a guy in Oklahoma who tried to rob a liquor store with an interesting weapon, a 64 year-old man who's known for playing Santa Claus that just got busted for kiddie porn, a #FloridaWoman who got arrested for DUI and tried to hide a bunch of pills in her vagina, a deer that broke into a Christmas store & got stuck in a chair, and the results of GameStop's "Trade Anything Day".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I. In my 2019 post Too Much Dark Money In Almonds, I asked: why is there so little money in politics? During the 2018 election, Americans - candidates, parties, PACs, and small donors like you - spent a combined $5 billion pushing their preferred candidates. Although that sounds like a lot of money, Americans spent $12 billion on almonds that same year. Why the imbalance? The oil industry has strong political opinions, and they make $500 billion per year. Do they really think electing oil-friendly politicians isn't worth 2% of revenue? We debated how this could be. Some of the discussion proved prescient - I asked if maybe Elon Musk should buy some kind of social media property. But we never found a good answer, and the implied question remained open: if some billionaire wanted to spend an actually relevant percent of his net worth on politics, could he just take over everything? I recently talked to some Silicon Valley political consultants who updated me on the status of this issue: Marc Andreessen tried this in 2024 and it basically worked. Now he is trying it a second time, it will probably work again, and Marc Andreessen will probably own every politician twice over. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/tech-pacs-are-closing-in-on-the-almonds

On today's AgNet News Hour, Nick Papagni and Josh McGill welcomed Melissa Oberti, a third-generation Central Valley farmer from Madera, to share her family's story and the challenges facing small growers in California. The Legacy of Oberti Olives For decades, the Oberti family was synonymous with olives in the Central Valley. Starting in the 1930s, the Oberti brand became a household name. But competition from Spain and Italy eventually priced California growers out of the market, forcing the family to pivot into almonds and wine grapes. “We just couldn't compete anymore,” Oberti explained, noting that her family's olive legacy still sparks recognition across the Valley. Water and the High-Speed Rail Fight Today, the Oberti family farms 320 acres of wine grapes and 170 acres of almonds, but both crops face major challenges. Oberti described how water regulations under SGMA and fees have strained operations, while the state's high-speed rail project is set to divide and landlock parts of their property. “We just harvested our last crop of almonds on that ranch,” she said, noting that 25-year-old orchards won't be replanted due to the uncertainty. Broken Policies and Unfair Competition Oberti expressed frustration with state policies that she says punish farmers while rewarding unchecked development. From rising energy costs to pesticide bans that fuel rodent infestations, she argued that Sacramento lawmakers lack both “skin in the game” and basic understanding of agriculture. “They make rules and policies without knowing what it takes to farm,” she said. She also pointed out the unfair playing field created by global competition. “How do you compete with other states where minimum wage is $7.50 and here it's $20? Add in water costs, PG&E rates, and regulations—it's not sustainable.” A Call to Action for California Agriculture Despite the challenges, Oberti urged farmers to speak up and push forward. She emphasized that farmers are resilient, environmentally responsible, and vital to America's food security. “People forget California is one of the few places in the world that can grow this diversity of crops,” she said. “If we lose that, where will our food come from?”

Chris Chavez joined the Journey to share his story of not coming from an agricultural background and thriving in a successful career in the almond industry. Today, Chavez is the director of almond trading at OFI and he reflected on his experiences trading almonds, partnering with a food company to explore regenerative almond production and joining the Almond Board of California's Environmental Stewardship Workgroup.“The almond industry in general is a very collaborative environment. Obviously, there are a lot of different handlers, and theoretically, we're all competitors, but really, I think before we're competitors, we're all almond industry members.” - Chris Chavez In Today's episode: Meet Chris Chavez, the director of almond trading at OFI Discover Chavez's journey into the agricultural industry, specifically in almonds Learn about OFI operations and the many industry partners they collaborate with globally Understand why Chavez is passionate about the work ABC's Environmental Stewardship Workgroup is doing The Almond Journey Podcast is made possible by the Almond Board of California. This show explores how growers, handlers, and other stakeholders are making things work in their operations to drive the almond industry forward. Host Tim Hammerich visits with leaders throughout the Central Valley of California and beyond who are finding innovative ways to improve their operations, connect with their communities, and advance the almond industry.

In today's episode of the AgNet News Hour, the AgMeter and Josh McGill dove deep into the challenges and opportunities shaping California's almond industry, joined by Darren Rigg of Minturn Nut Company. Despite market turbulence, Darren shared a cautiously optimistic view for the coming harvest season. After a rollercoaster of pricing over the past few years—marked by suppressed returns and fluctuating global demand—Rigg emphasized that 2025 may finally offer a glimmer of hope, thanks in part to California's ideal growing conditions this spring and summer. The episode tackled the impact of a recent 3 billion-pound crop estimate, which spooked the market and dropped prices. Rigg stressed that the estimate was just that—an estimate—and urged growers not to panic. Encouragingly, lower prices reenergized buyer demand, creating the potential to rebound like last year, when almond prices hit their highest point in a decade. Rigg explained how international trade dynamics and tariffs have created significant uncertainty. While exports remain vital—70 to 90% of Minturn's business is overseas—demand from countries like China has sharply declined since 2017. However, new markets in North Africa, the Middle East, and Turkey are stepping up to fill the gap. The discussion also highlighted the vital importance of water access, domestic almond marketing, and the shelf life advantage of California-grown almonds. With freight and labor issues less problematic than in past years, Darren believes the almond industry is positioned to adapt, provided policy makers, marketers, and growers work together. Josh and the AgMeter closed the episode by emphasizing the resilience of California growers and the superior quality of California almonds. As Darren put it, “We're one trade deal away from making 3 billion pounds of almonds profitable again.” If there's one takeaway from today's show, it's this: the almond industry is still in the fight—and the road ahead, while uncertain, may just lead to better days for California farmers.

Sam Almond's middle name is Almond. His father's name is Almond, as is his grandfather's. And yet, we managed to go the whole episode without making a joke about his family being nuts. I'm proud of how far this show has come. What I'm not proud of is involuntarily breathing in a pack of cigarettes every time I walk to my car.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You can have normal magnesium blood levels and still have a magnesium deficiency! This is because only 1% of magnesium is in your blood! The other 99% is inside your cells.Common magnesium deficiency symptoms include: •Muscle spasms•Muscle twitches•Anxiety•Poor sleep•Sugar cravings•Charley horses Almonds, spinach, and chocolate contain magnesium, but you would need to consume a lot to meet your requirements!Gut inflammation can decrease magnesium absorption by 60 to 70%. High-carb diets, alcohol, caffeine, and certain medications can deplete magnesium.Top-selling magnesium products often have poor absorption and can cause diarrhea. Take magnesium glycinate for the best absorption rate and to avoid the laxative effect. Magnesium is the master controller of calcium in the body, which is the primary communication signal between cells. Calcium often over-accumulates in the cells, which can lead to cellular damage. Magnesium is vital in regulating excess calcium in the body. It also helps prevent kidney stones. Calcium causes your muscles to contract, while magnesium causes them to relax. Tight muscles signify too much calcium and not enough magnesium. Magnesium also prevents heart attacks and problems with the heart's rhythm. Correcting a magnesium deficiency takes time, and you need to make sure you're taking enough. You may need 1000 to 1500 mg of magnesium daily to correct a deficiency. People with migraines, chronic pain, mood disorders, and diabetes may need more magnesium.Vitamin D won't work without magnesium. When you increase your magnesium intake, also increase your vitamin D. Vitamin B1 is also dependent on magnesium. Magnesium is vital in ATP production, so your magnesium intake directly affects your energy levels.
