Good morning.
I’m a physician.
I am not sure what your point is.
True, many of the foods you list are high in good things, like Selenium in bananas, spinach and Brazilian nuts, but many of these foods are dangerously high in oxalates if eaten regularly.
Oxalates metabolize into crystals that damage the kidneys and deposit in other organs esp the thyroid, joints and the brain.
Have you ever had kidney stones or bone spurs? Could be from oxalates.
In fact, if you’re one of these people, (at one time me included), who drinks smoothies with spinach, and chocolate and eats handfuls of nuts all day long, you might be getting high levels of oxalates.
Here are a few signs and symptoms of oxalate overload, and I am quite sure that some people reading this posting, (esp if these are vegans) are suffering from too much oxalates, and don’t know it.
Oxalates could be a hidden source of headaches, urinary pain, genital irritation, joint, muscle, intestinal or eye pain. Other common oxalate-caused symptoms can also include mood conditions, anxiety, sleep problems, weakness, atherosclerosis, prostatitis and burning feet.
Read up on it, because many physician don’t even consider it.
Just one you think the foods we’ve been eating are healthy, it turns out they can be harmful to us in large quantities.
