I can’t recommend the book enough because there’s so much information she got from all the studies since 1840s.

Our modern reverence for hearthealthywholegrains and vegetables was an extension of Ancel Keys “work.” So it’s tainted. It’s based on six month and one year food questionaires. ALL of our damned food pyramid was built on fake studies.

Ms. Norton has a Masters in Public Health from Cornell. She spent 10 years in the stacks, documenting how oxalate awareness has shrunk to some kidney specialists who are aware of how the diet exists… but CAN’T be right!

It’s not science. It’s dogma. That’s an awful way to run anything, and we are all in the grip of it.

I wouldn’t even recommend addressing it without the book if we have an existing health condition. This is actual detoxing, which ain’t beanbag.

Just being oxalate aware could help already healthy people, but it’s tricky when I’m already so sick.

It’s a wealth of information but now all I have to do is put in “oxalates autoimmune autism” into Pub Med and BANG! So much knowledge that is being ignored because it contradicts a theory which has been disproven over and over.

The part that was missing that explains it all… Ms Norton has found it. So at the moment, I’m not minding how many (more) food myths I’m currently upending!
