Toxic Superfoods: Are Chocolate, Spinach and Almonds Making You Sick? | Sally K. Norton

You eat healthy and you still feel sick. Aching joints, broken sleep, up at night to pee. Sally K. Norton lived that way from childhood and was forty-nine before she worked out why.

Sally is an Ivy League nutritionist and the author of Toxic Superfoods. I asked her which symptoms point to oxalates, why cutting these foods out fast can make you feel worse, and what she swaps in instead.
