North American Sally K. Norton, master in Public Health and author of 'Toxic Superfoods', breaks all beliefs about what is healthy. Also on her "black list" are chia seeds, raspberries or sweet potatoes.
"I am an oxalate overload survivor. For much of my life I have unknowingly consumed excessive amounts." Thus begins the groundbreaking story by Sally K. Norton (Syracuse, New York, United States, March 10, 1964) in Toxic Superfoods (Alienta Editorial).
Despite having a degree in Nutrition from Cornell University and a master's degree in Public Health Management from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she had to relearn how to force eat due to her own difficult personal experience. She gave up veganism and smoothies, which she blames for her low bone density (osteopenia) and kidney stones. "The modern diet is making us sick," she states emphatically, relating foods that anyone would classify as healthy with problems such as pain, poor digestion, lack of energy or depression. "Potatoes, peanuts, raspberries and even superfoods like spinach naturally contain huge amounts of ignored toxins: oxalic acid, oxalate salts and oxalate crystals," she denounces. "They are toxic and consuming them is harmful to health."
To write this book she has relied on scientific data, studies from medical journals set out in heavy volumes that she, she explains, she has "carried up and down stairs to the library scanner so you don't have to." And she even documents herself with true stories of patients whose lives she has changed.
That is why the lack of knowledge on the subject in the tangle of nutritional information on the internet is so surprising. Why is it "risky" to be modern when choosing the menu? How is the immense variety of symptoms possible? Am I poisoning myself with my morning smoothie? But even Popeye ate spinach to have energy and beat the bad guy! Norton understands that everything her book says, translated for the first time into a language other than English, is causing so much controversy. "The version in Chinese, Vietnamese, German and Polish will arrive soon. And they ask me a lot in France", she comments, proud of her revolution, which she describes as "necessary".
PAIN AND ANXIETY
The first question is very clear. In a world with so many problems of obesity, sedentary lifestyle and cardiovascular diseases, should we declare war on the green leaf? "Absolutely, because if you are convinced that spinach cannot be bad, you eat it without limits. It is difficult to relate physical pain or anxiety to diet, although they are very connected," she says. "I myself ate sweet potatoes, blackberries and quinoa every day and I realized that something in my body was not working and I felt worse, without spirit." A suffering, she describes, that the doctors did not even know how to see.
In addition to her example, she gives that of well-known personalities to highlight the chronic damage caused by oxalate consumed for decades. "Actor Liam Hemsworth publicly blamed spinach smoothies for a bout of kidney stones he suffered in 2019 that required surgery." In fact, in Men's Health magazine, the Australian said that he considered his green handful added to almond milk, peanut butter and vegan proteins super healthy, until a kidney stone prevented him from attending a movie premiere and he required surgery. . "The role of these well-known figures as speakers on the wrongness of detox cleansing is very important," warns Norton, who encourages all influencers' smoothie videos that flood the networks to be sent to him and praises the model and presenter Jorge Fernández upon learning of his case with heavy metals and fish. "In America, coach Tony Robbins drank a lot of emperor and they came to think that his wife was poisoning him due to the high toxicity that his body had."
The disturbing thing about the message is that if we already know how bad ultra-processed foods are and real food poisons us, how do we feed ourselves? "The role of nutritionists is not to create confusion. I am not saying that you should not eat vegetables, but if you know that you cannot abuse industrial buns without having to look carefully at a label because they are junk food, the same happens with foods with "oxalates: they must be treated as toxins. Antibiotics come from plants."
It is especially critical of vegetable drinks, "water with crushed almonds", for example, which do not provide much. "By crushing the oxalates, our body assimilates them better," she warns. The same goes for smoothies: "Chia seeds are horrible for your colon, but you would never think that there are toxins in a vegetable because we have a pro-plant mentality."
If people cannot assimilate such a resounding criticism of something they have been hearing all their lives, in part, it is because nutrition seems to move by currents or fads, we ask Norton. From demonizing fats to praising them (they don't contain oxalates either, by the way). "We do not know how toxins behave in the body because research is decided according to the available funds, and oxalates are known to be there defending plants, but they are not of interest. Now we are focused on other problems such as diabetes, cancer or the microbiota and that is where more money is being put". And he draws attention to how eating so many vegetables makes us feel so bad: "Now there is a lot of arthritis, osteoporosis and osteopenia, which I suffered at the age of 48. We are very dependent on anxiolytics and live with inflammation. All of this has not improved by eating a lot of spinach. "he says with some sarcasm.
She points out that certain metabolic alterations could be enhanced by the damage caused by oxalate. That is why she calls for awareness and better decisions in food. "Start the day with protein instead of carbohydrates so as not to trigger insulin spikes and take the time to eat calmly, as you do in Europe. We run down the street with fast food and even in the car," he admits. the Americans.
In the book she questions all diets, even the Mediterranean, in which experts usually agree, calling it very healthy. "We talk about it in an artificial way, because it mixes many countries and in all of them they don't eat the same." He does recognize a common base: "Fish, lamb, dairy and olive oil, but there is also a lot of marketing and interests in this industry. They went to Harvard with ideal bottles where they sold the benefits of their Greek oil but there is not a very clear definition. It is an idea created as if by drinking cups and cups of oil you would be very healthy," he reflects.
In short, according to Norton, no one knows why we talk so much about all this and so little about oxalates, present even in rainwater. "They have always been surrounding us and it is impressive how science does not pay attention or resources to it." It happened to her and they sent her to a psychiatrist. With her investigation she hopes it doesn't happen to anyone else. "They have to be aware. This is not overnight. Detoxifying for years takes time."

16 Weeks left in 2023! You inspired me with that. I hadn't thought of that, but wouldn't it be amazing to BEGIN the new year by having dropped the 20 lbs that I would have made a resolution. I'm all over this!
Day one for me, spent cleaning out my cupboards, boxing up food items that I will donate, throwing others in the garbage. All the meat in my freezer is being gifted to a meat eater. Watching videos and getting ideas, going grocery shopping and ordering online. I’m going to give it my all for a few months to see if I can’t bring down my blood pressure and cholesterol. I know I will enjoy the new way of eating and I know I will miss the ice cream! Oh, and by the way, if I can start this at 76 YO, you are right, it’s never too late!
Finish strong!
