Part 37 - Sally Norton, MPH on Oxalates, Plants Hurting Your Health, and Never Eating Spinach Again

Part 37 - Sally Norton, MPH on Oxalates, Plants Hurting Your Health, and Never Eating Spinach Again

Sally Norton has a degree in nutrition from Cornell University and a Masters of Public Health from the UNiversity of North Carolina. She managed a five-year, National Institute of Health-funded program at the UNC Medical School. She's a nutrition consultant, speaker, and an all around oxalate expert.

This is a sad story with a happy ending. Sally's life goal from age 5 was to study nutrition and help people be healthy. She followed all the traditional advice and ate a very plant-heavy vegetarian and even vegan diet only to have 30 years of health problems because of that diet.

At first all this oxalate stuff is hard to believe. It's talked about so little and there's not a lot of mainstream knowledge on it in the medical community. We talk some real science a little ways into the episode, so know it's coming. Also for people who may be skeptical of how bad oxalates are you can go to the vegan site veganhealth.org/oxalate and see the comprehensive mile-long list of problems and warnings about oxalates. Yes, a vegan site warning about plant food dangers. This is not some wacky carnivore idea people.

I just started a Patreon for this podcast. I really want to keep this ad-free and I'm getting multiple offers for sponsorships. This is a huge amount of work I do completely on my own and I don't think I have the bandwidth to keep it up much longer. I'll spare you the details of how many hours it takes me weekly to put it out, but just know it's way more than you think. I'll continue keeping this a high quality and from what I've heard valuable resource for people if I can get the support of the community. We are a tribe and everyone does their part to keep things moving. I appreciate all the messages I get that help keep me motivated when the hours get long. Even people's suggestions on guests really help. This episode was possible from 1 or 2 listeners who kept mentioning Sally and her work. Thanks so much for supporting me in all my efforts. This will allow me to keep putting out content on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube as well. Please go to Patreon.com/peakhuman and become a member of the tribe there. Just a couple dollars a month really helps. You can also get more perks like extended show notes and bonus content we're just beginning to put out or an invite to the private Slack group. That's http://Patreon.com/peakhuman Thanks in advance, and here's Sally Norton.

SHOW NOTES

  • Sally had a lifelong quest to be in the nutrition and wellness space
  • Despite eating plant-based diets all her life and focusing on what she thought was good nutrition, she had major health problems
  • Some books convinced her to vegan and soon she could barely walk up and down stairs and got pneumonia multiple times per year
  • She finally figured out it was the build up of oxalated from all the plants foods she was eating
  • She published a great paper "Lost Seasonality and Overconsumption of Plants: Risking Oxalate Toxicity" https://jevohealth.com/journal/vol2/iss3/4/
  • How come she has all this training and she didn't know a thing about oxalates?
  • We actually knew about oxalates in the 1700s and 1800s
  • Populations like the Irish drank a lot of tea, ate a lot of potatoes, had greens in season, and rhubarb in the spring - all of these have high oxalate
  • Spinach and whole grains have a lot of oxalate
  • They did tests on rats to see calcium absorption of and we saw that spinach wasn't delivering calcium - same for iron and folate
  • The nutrients also degrade quickly unless the spinach is kept very cold the entire time after harvest (which is basically impossible)
  • All USDA data on nutrition in plant foods are wrong and don't account for bioavailability
  • Nutrients drop significantly in spinach after harvest, especially when not refrigerated to a very cold 4 degrees celsius
  • More and more people are heading towards mostly animal foods as they learn about bioavailability and antinutrients and listen to their body
  • The carnivore movement has been great to just let people know it's ok to eat only animal foods
  • World War 1 is when we started relying on fallback plant foods she thinks. We invented the idea of the victory garden
  • I was out with a girl from Peru who was laughing at Americans for eating green vegetables - the mainly eat meat, fish, and starches.
  • She talks about why we even think vegetables are so great in the first place
  • Our natural state is now a diseased state
  • Biggest current problems are toxicity and deficiency
  • High oxalate foods: nuts, seeds, brassica veg, potatoes, some berries
  • If doctors don't have a remedy for it, you don't have a disease
  • Calcium is being blamed for what oxalates are doing
  • Science behind oxalates
  • Range of oxalate poisoning that could kill you is 3.5 grams - 30 grams
  • A guy died of oxalate poisoning from sorrel soup
  • Cases of people with permanent kidney damage from juice/smoothie cleanses
  • Kidney disease is on the rise faster than anything in the last few decades
  • There's so many other toxins your kidney needs to deal with these days besides the oxalate
  • She's read about 3,000 studies and articles on oxalate over the last 4.5 years of research
  • Oxalates travel all over the body before going through your kidney to be detoxified
  • Even vegan sites warn about the enormous problem of oxalates https://veganhealth.org/oxalate/
  • Whole system is skewed supporting plants foods
  • Researchers aren't doctors don't have time or aren't curious enough or can't get funding to do all this research
  • She's had major foot problems most of her life due to oxalates and it kind of ruined her career
  • Susan Owens has great data on oxalate accumulation http://lowoxalate.info
  • Clive Solomons and the Pain Project http://www.thevpfoundation.org/effective_treatment.htm
  • Comprehensive oxalate charts http://lowoxalate.info/recipes.html
  • USDA food charts don't account for bioavailability and 10-15% of the data is just wrong
  • A lot of oxalate problems are determined by how much is getting through the intestinal tract and how compromised it is / what problems you have like IBS, etc.
  • If you're constantly getting low doses of oxalate your immune system is constantly cleaning it up so you won't really see any major problems… but that's not good at all
  • We need to eat seasonally for a real reason - to give our body a break from different foods that may be giving us problems if eaten in excess
  • Herbivores evolved differently to be able to handle oxalates
  • Even these can die if they are stuck somewhere where they only have access to high oxalate food
  • She's working on some proposals and a book
  • Her site is http://sallyknorton.com
  • Her Instagram is http://instagram.com/sknorton

(22:32) The mental health crisis came as a result of being unhealthy in general. (28:12) When you eat organ meat, you take in a lot of serine. (34:34) Another practice within these indigenous cultures is that there is no trading of food, meaning everything eaten is native. Their food is also traditionally processed. (45:25) You don't need to completely remove plants from your diet, but gravitate towards those that you enjoy eating and have been properly prepared to minimize toxicity. (53:12) When optimizing your nutrition, don't focus on achieving balance. Focus on avoiding deficiencies. (1:08:42) There are different levels of nutritional knowledge. (1:21:17) The concept of "Blue Zones" as presented in the mainstream is largely misrepresented.

(41:44) There's ancient wisdom in the fact that all the major religions incorporate fasting. (47:21) Hashimoto's is autoimmune hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). (55:57) Calorie restriction is a form of stress. (1:02:02) Movement is important. But if you overlook food and light, you won't meet your goals. (1:08:30) It's no coincidence that the thyroid is in the throat. (1:11:29) There's no right or wrong place for a woman to have her baby. It's important to know your options.

(07:20) A calorie deficit for weight loss purposes is only effective in the short-term. (16:15) Instead of restricting yourself nutritionally while trying to improve or maintain performance, go for naturally optimizing your hormones. (26:55) Don't think "energy balance". Think "energy metabolism". (37:28) True health or fitness is about living like a human should to the fullest. (53:04) Testosterone can be produced from saturated fat.

Part 205 - Dave Feldman on The Amazing Study of Fit People w/ High LDL Cholesterol

Dave Feldman is an independent researcher and software engineer who has gained notoriety for his work on cholesterol and lipid metabolism, particularly in the context of low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets. Coming from a background in software engineering, Feldman took a systems engineering approach to understanding cholesterol, creating what he calls the "lipid energy model." He has presented his findings at various medical conferences and is a frequent guest on health and wellness podcasts. Although not a credentialed medical professional, Feldman's citizen science has challenged traditional views on cholesterol, encouraging more nuanced discussions around its role in health. His work has captivated a large following of both laypeople and experts interested in the complexities of lipidology. http://CholesterolCode.com BUY THE MEAT NosetoTail.org Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post SHOW NOTES: (4:18) A study on the Lipid Energy Model (LEM) (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35629964/) may explain why cholesterol increases in those who decide to consume fat for energy over carbs. (12:46) The status of your metabolic health influences how a particular diet affects your health, no matter the diet. (20:42) HDL at 50 or higher and triglycerides at 100 or lower are good benchmarks to strive for. (36:19) Multiple studies demonstrate that, if you take 100 random people in the same demographic with 0 risk factors, 60 male and 40 female, a little more than half of them would have 0 CAC. (44:07) Dave's ongoing companion study (follow updates at https://citizensciencefoundation.org/) running parallel to the main study features a control group with more relaxed criteria. (52:03) If we had more data on healthy populations, a clearer path towards a healthy way of life will be achieved (59:40) Visit (https://ownyourlabs.com/) which is both a blood testing service and a hub to participate in citizen science.

Part 204 - Gabor Erdosi on The Root Cause of Diabetes, Disease, and Obesity

Gabor is a food scientist with a master's in molecular biology. He lives in Hungary and is one of these engineers/scientists who I love talking to who look at nutrition differently. He has a very unique perspective because he worked for big food manufacturers. He spends almost all of his free time researching this stuff to help people understand how bad these processed foods actually are. He has a large community on Facebook where he shares and discusses this information. He also has some great presentations he's done you can find online. BUY THE MEAT NosetoTail.org Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post SHOW NOTES (12:29) To determine whether a study is biased, refer first to potential conflicts of interest. (14:56) Adipose tissue is a question of function over mass. (23:53) We are adaptive organisms. (31:04) Accelerated Appearance and Absorption (AAA) takes place when your small intestinal tract is filled too quickly with ultra-processed foods (refined carbs and/or added fats). (41:03) Processed proteins are nowhere near as unhealthy as processed carbs. (55:40) Overeating doesn't necessarily equal gaining weight, and vice versa. (58:36) Adipogenesis is the generation of more fat mainly through the addition of new fat cells. (1:09:19) In general, metabolic health is a good marker of future health outcomes. (1:17:58) A diet rich in refined carbohydrates and added fats leads to the production of endotoxins that are easily absorbed. (1:27:46) Visceral fat is a protective mechanism.

Part 203 - Dr. Joel Kahn Thinks You Should Go Vegan

Dr. Joel Kahn is a cardiologist, integrative medicine practitioner and promoter of plant-based nutrition. Having practiced traditional cardiology since 1983, it was only after his own commitment to a plant based vegan diet that he truly began to delve into the realm of non-traditional diagnostic tools, prevention tactics and nutrition-based recovery protocols. These ideologies led him to change his approach and focus on being a holistic cardiologist. https://www.drjoelkahn.com/ GET THE MEAT NosetoTail.org Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post SHOW NOTES (16:52) According to Dr. Khan, if you suffer from heart disease, consider a plant-based diet based on science. (20:38) We start to develop atherosclerosis in our 20s and 30s. (31:00) We have more than enough data that a human can live through their reproductive years on a huge variety of diets. (47:08) To assess whether or not you're on the right path, assess your own cardiovascular status. (59:54) 30-40% of heart attacks, strokes, and early deaths are due to genetic factors, completely regardless of nutrition and lifestyle. (1:09:50) Examine whether or not your lifestyle is working for you. Don't just assume it is.

Stephan J. Guyenet, Ph.D. is an obesity researcher and health writer whose work ties together neuroscience, physiology, evolutionary biology, and nutrition to offer explanations and solutions for our global weight problem. He received a B.S. in biochemistry at the University of Virginia and a Ph.D. in neurobiology at the University of Washington. He is the author of the popular health website, Whole Health Source, and is a frequent speaker on topics of obesity, metabolism, and nutrition. https://www.stephanguyenet.com/about-stephan-guyenet/ BUY THE MEAT NosetoTail.org Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post SHOW NOTES: (11:16) Our brains determine our food intake and regulate our energy expenditure, in a way that works best in our ancestral environment, but not in our modern environment. (24:33) We consume calories for many reasons, hunger being just one of them. Likewise, satiety is just one of many reasons we stop eating. (34:40) As a rule of thumb, eat a diet of omnivorous whole foods that are lower in calorie density. (49:56) Fiber is not an essential nutrient. (58:35) Nutrient-to-energy is important to health, but once you have adequate intake, there's not much benefit in taking in more. (1:04:46) Most people in the US are more susceptible to obesity than others. Whether or not they actually become obese comes down to the environment they choose. (1:15:31) Blood pressure, on a genetic level, doesn't typically change as one gets older.

Brad also hosts the B.rad podcast BUY THE MEAT NosetoTail.org Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post SHOW NOTES: (09:56) We know what's possible. Now let's shoot for optimal. (21:22) Processed foods disrupt our appetite and satiety hormones, prompting us to overeat. (33:02) Injuries are a sign of overdoing it. (40:56) Homo sapiens are built for near-constant everyday movement. (47:38) Always ask "what's optimal" instead of just "what's possible". (59:54) Raw forms of high-toxin natural plant foods is a potentially problematic category of nutrition. (1:08:26) Our main nutritional challenge is energy toxicity.
