Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload Is Making You Sick--and How to Get Better

I heard about oxalates some years ago and brushed it off (I was vegan/veggie then). However after reading this book I removed all high oxalate foods and within a week my energy went through the roof, I needed less sleep and my brain felt switched on. I already considered myself quite high energy, so this was a wonderful surprise to have even more. I've recommended this book and Sally to many people now and all are having amazing results!

Very good book for people who have issues with oxalates. Highly recommended.

Ella habla sobre los oxilates que es un veneno en varias comida y poco hablado. El libro es muy interesante sobre este peligo.

The discovery of Sally K Norton and her work has literally changed my life and given my hope to be able to finally understand and reverse my different health problems - it is very hard indeed to accept that I, like so many others, have been on the completely wrong path with my vegetarian, vegan and gluten free diet over decades.... wanting to do so well and obtaining exactly the opposite! Thank you Sally for this very important revelation!

**Title: Eye-Opening Insights in "Toxic Superfoods"****Review:**"Toxic Superfoods" is a compelling read that challenges our perceptions of so-called health foods. The author provides thorough research and practical advice on identifying and avoiding potentially harmful foods commonly considered beneficial. With clear explanations and actionable tips, this book is essential for anyone serious about optimizing their diet and health. Highly informative and thought-provoking!

The life-changing book!! I still cannot believe how I could miss oxalates. After so many years of suffering, there is a bright light I will finally take control of my health on my own, not hoping and not expecting anything from doctors. I had mold poisoning which led me to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and histamine intolerance, and the whole body collapsed. But I knew something was missing in all of this. My doctors did not even believe in my symptoms, there was not much support. At least alternative medicine answered some of my questions, but not all. I became a doctor for myself and that is how I found Sally. I just started reading it and I'm so impressed by how much info she added to this book. It will change so many people's lives. Huge thanks for the hard work she did for us!

I became more aware of the extent of troublesome oxalates in plant foods after reading a short article by Mark Sisson of Marks Daily Apple and then a comment which testified to the difference it made to reduce or nearly eliminate the many sources of Oxalates in (her) diet. I was so stunned by the commenter’s testimony (even though I was aware of oxalates in some plant foods and already avoided them) that I was compelled to follow the link she left to Sally K. Norton’s website. I was happy to learn what Sally offered at her site which included many helpful articles and lists. I was surprised too by how many foods we consume that contain high amounts of oxalates so I began implementing some of the ideas right away to discover for myself what effects oxalates might be having on my own health.This book Toxic Superfoods - “How Oxalate Overload is Making You Sick and How to Get Better” came out about a year after I found Sally and offers a detailed and comprehensive presentation of her decade plus research and personal journey recovering from Oxalate poisoning from her vegetarian diet. The book is well organized and very readable with impressive stories of recovery, useful lists, tables and comparisons of meals that contain low vs high Oxalate foods. It is designed for anyone who wants to understand the problem of Oxalate crystals in (mostly plant) foods to discover if they might be the culprit in their own health issues and how to tackle it to find out if they are. It covers all the relevant science and explains the physiological effects of these plant elements.I think everyone can benefit from reading this book to gain an understanding of how many foods we eat today (and much less so in decades and centuries past) that are having negative effects on our bodies and health but which are rigorously promoted to us as “health foods” or “super foods” all of which is propaganda not fact.In my 60’s I find it prudent to be pro-active in my approach to health such that I can address or prevent problems before they arise. So even though I didn’t personally have any big problems with oxalates, I was having some & knowing how to eliminate these problems by my own actions empowers me and keeps me out of doctors offices or using drugs for pain management which so many people over 65 rely on yet find little relief. Sally has poured her vast experience, knowledge, wisdom, heart, & soul into creating a book immensely usable and one can feel how dedicated she is to helping people feel well again. This is a hallmark book - first and only one I know of covering this topic so beautifully and thoroughly. Read it!

I really like this book.

Ce livre m'a fait découvrir toute l'étendue de mes erreurs concernant ma façon de "bien" me nourrir: j'en suis tombée de ma chaise ! rétropédalage complet concernant la consommation de "superfood" préférées (légumes verts, curcuma , patates douces, pain au sarrassin sans gluten, chocolat à 99% etc.Il me reste plus qu'à entamer un profond régime de détoxification :(J'en ai parlé autour de moi; malheureusement le livre n'est pas traduit en français, c'est vraiment dommage!

This book is a life saver. Thank you Sally. Following your dietary guidance (detailed in the book) has massively reduced my fibromyalgia and arthritis. Can only highly recommend.

This book is really helpful

Eines der wichtigsten Bücher, die ich seit langem gelesen habe. Auch in englischer Sprache sehr gut verständlich und unglaublich gut aufgebaut. Wichtige (für mich neue) Informationen, bezüglich der in der Werbung so gehypten Superfoods, die jeder wissen sollte! In meinen Augen unabdingbar für jedermanns/fraus Gesundheit!!!! Danke Sally NortonOne of the most important books, I have read in a long time. Even in English, easy to understand and perfectly structured. Important (and for me new) information regarding the so hyped superfoods, which I think every man and every woman should be aware of!!! Thanks Sally Norton

Toxic Superfoods is a life saver for me. I was so sick from oxalates I could barely make it another day. I was on little protein and lots of vegetables. Insomnia is still a problem but getting better with slow oxalate dumping. Thank you Sally Norton.
