How Spinach, Nuts, Dark Chocolate Can Inflame the Body: Toxic Superfoods | Trailer | Vital Signs
Are the oxalate chemical compounds in our favorite “health foods” making us sick?
It’s well known that plants have layered defenses against being eaten by insects and grazing herbivores—from physical thorns and spikes to chemical toxins poisonous to animal predators.
However, has enough thought really been given to how the latter may impact humans? Author of “Toxic Superfoods” Sally K. Norton would say it definitely hasn’t.
In people’s awakening to the possible toxic impact of high-oxalate foods, including spinach, dark chocolate, and almonds, “the biggest hurdle is ... of thinking of plants from a Disney movie like, oh, the plants are here for us, and they want to be all sweet and eaten and all perfectly safe,” she says—but “that’s not their job.”
“They’re out there fighting the fight of nature, which is a tough place to be to survive, and some of what they do is poisonous to us.”
“It can get neurotoxicity going. It can get inflammatory swelling and pain syndromes that affect your joints and connective tissue,” she says, citing her own relief from arthritis and irritable bowel syndrome after cutting oxalates as proof of their impact.
On “Vital Signs,” Norton reveals bodily signs that oxalate toxicity may be impacting you, a strategy for detoxing your diet, and how to manage the “oxalate shedding” side effect of cutting oxalate intake.
Norton is a graduate of Cornell University, and holds a master’s degree in public health.
