Sally Norton, author of Toxic Superfoods, reveals how hidden plant toxins like oxalates in "healthy" foods may be silently damaging your body and what to do about it.

Guest Bio: Sally K. Norton holds a nutrition degree from Cornell University and a master’s in Public Health. She has worked in medical research, public health education, and integrative health, and is the author of Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload Is Making You Sick—and How to Get Better.

Topics discussed:

What oxalates are and why they're toxic
Personal health issues linked to high-oxalate foods
“Superfoods” like spinach, almonds, and sweet potatoes as hidden risks
Plant defense chemicals and the myth of plant benevolence
Symptoms of oxalate overload (gut issues, joint pain, fatigue, neurological problems)
Oxalates vs. other antinutrients (lectins, tannins, etc.)
Problems with vegan/vegetarian diets and school food policies
How to safely transition to a low-oxalate diet
Impact of oxalates on aging, dementia, and autism

3 best quotes:

“Plants were invented before we were—and they didn’t evolve to be our friends.”
“We’ve put spinach on a pedestal, but it may be the reason you’re in pain.”
“If you’re eating like the ‘cool kids,’ you might be slowly poisoning yourself without even knowing it.”
