STORY AT-A-GLANCE

In this interview, Sally Norton, author of “Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload Is
Making You Sick — and How to Get Better,” reviews how and why even foods we’ve been
told are healthy can wreak havoc on your health. As the title of the book implies, the
main culprit in question is oxalate or oxalic acid, found in many plants, beans, grains,
seeds and nuts, fruits, berries and herbs.
How Oxalates Can Wreck Your Health

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola  Fact Checked January 01, 2023

Oxalic acid is a naturally occurring toxic, corrosive acid. When the oxalic acid has
minerals attached to it, it’s called oxalate, which acts as a mineral chelator

Oxalate forms crystals that your body has a limited capacity to process. Calcium oxalate,
for example, which is oxalic acid with calcium attached, form into painful kidney stones

Unlike some other food-related toxins, oxalate cannot be removed by cooking, soaking or
fermenting the food. You also cannot simply take a mineral supplement to address the
depletion oxalates causes

The top three “superfoods” that are very high in oxalate and may cause trouble are
spinach, Swiss chard and beet greens. Another high-oxalate food is almonds, which you
can easily “overdose” on if you’re eating bread made with almond �our or drinking
almond milk, or if you’re on a keto or paleo diet, as they both tend to rely heavily on
almonds. Dark chocolate is another food that scores high for oxalates

Oxalate damages cellular membranes causing excess calcium to �flood the cell, resulting
in accelerated cell death and other metabolic problems that contribute to chronic disease
and ill health
