What are oxalates and what is their role in many different health issues and concerns? Donna is joined by nutritionist and oxalate expert Sally K Norton in this episode. She is the author of the upcoming release "Toxic Superfoods" and shares her expansive knowledge not just on oxalates but also on how easy it is to make ‘healthy eating’ mistakes that are detrimental to your health.

As well as the toxicity of oxalates, Donna and Sally discuss the prevalence of oxalate-rich plant foods, the impact on gut health as well as the link between inflammation and the thyroid gland and other organs.



KEY TAKEAWAYS
Oxalates are natural toxic acids and crystals with health-damaging effects and are found in many of the “superfoods” we think are good for us. Almonds, spinach and vitamin C in high doses are key examples of oxalates.
“The predominate acid in acid rain is oxalate.”
Despite mounting evidence surrounding the dangers of oxalate-rich foods, many people are still ignorant of the dangers.
Sally has helped many people improve their health and recover from serious illnesses, chronic pain, kidney problems, osteopenia, and even chronic infections, just by making simple changes to their diet.
For 40+ years the health industry has been telling the population to eat less eggs, meat and dairy but this has led to people eating more popular so-called "health" foods that are high in oxalates. 
The thyroid, urinary tract and breasts are very common places for oxalates to collect in women’s bodies. 
Oxalates are stored in our bones, brain and anywhere the blood can take them.
“Oxalate passes through the placenta.” 
Oxalates are a main cause of inflammation—in the gut.
You may have been diagnosed with arthritis or problems in your joints when it's really oxalates collecting there. 



“You can literally get dental wear from eating high-oxalate foods”



“Our lack of knowledge is killing us”



“There’s no one looking out for your well-being, this is a commercial process”







Body Ecology is not a diet – it’s a way of life—based on 7 universal laws that always guide us toward the truth. If you want to know more about us, these 7 universal laws and our amazing effective products go to our website www.bodyecology.com. You can also get a transcript of this show there.

The Oxalate Problem

Oxalates are natural toxic acids and crystals with health-damaging effects and are found in many of the “superfoods” we think are good for us. Frequent consumption of spinach, almonds, and other oxalate-rich plant foods, and even some natural therapies (such as high-dose vitamin C) can literally poison us.
