Sally K Norton holds a nutrition degree from Cornell University and a masters degree in Public Health. Her path to becoming a leading expert on dietary oxalate includes a prior career working at major medical schools in medical education and public health research. Sally's personal healing experience inspired years of research that led to her writing her book "Toxic Superfoods". Oxalates could be destroying your health (without you knowing). Have a listen to this impressive presentation, it is worthy of your time.
Sally shares that there are healthy foods that you absolutely shouldn't eat and there are foods that a person with health issues should certainly avoid. There are so many different health conditions that are caused by an oxalate overload and it includes inflammation and chronic diseases. Excess oxalates also destroy amino acids that are also essential for the functioning of the body.
When the body has an excess of oxalates which is very easy to consume, the body cannot do the job that it was meant to do to keep the body healthy. During the presentation the Human Genome Project was mentioned, originally the medics thought that if they could solve the human genome and change DNA they could resolve diseases, now the focus is on the microbiome and gut health. Sally goes a step forward with her presentation of what foods are causing the most harm.
I like dark chocolate cranberries but they're very high in oxalates, if you have osteoarthritis it means chocolate is out. I do like spinach but I don't eat it very often, it is incredibly high in oxalates. I don't like Chard and I found that Kale gave me G.I. issues.
Sally says that if you are thirsty that means that the body is asking for water to help flush out the excess oxalates.
I've linked you to a complete list of foods and what their oxalate content is. See the blogpost prior to this one.
