Aah just to clarify, my issue isn't against oxalates specifically. I just think we are encouraged to eat certain foods that are not necessarily as good for us as we think they are. My new fixation is chamomile tea. Drunk for its calming effects, and I've spent many dollars on it myself, I was annoyed to discover that 99.9% of it on the market is the German variety, which has very little calmative effect. You need the Roman stuff. Searching for it online was an arduous task so I'm buying some roman chamomile essential oil instead. Now I know many people drink the german variety because we are told it's calming and soothing but it's not. And don't get me started on soy products and all those other poisonous foods masquerading as healthy. I think what I was trying to get at is all these foods/supplements are foisted on the public in the guise of healthy/healing products but when you look deeper they cause harm or have no benefit. And when you look at most of the foods we eat they all tend to have inflammatory actions on the body, and probably on the mind as well.
In saying that I do agree with most everything others are saying in this thread.
Then there is fluoride in the water, major endocrine disruptor. And so I've been buying a ten litre container of spring water every couple of days but it's in a plastic container leaching crap into every glassful. We are accosted from every direction. I am ultimately trying to make peace with being poisoned with everything I eat, drink and breath because it's doing my head in.
It's catalyst for me at the moment.
Quick edit: just to add that my intuition has been going very strong on this issue for the last 25 years and I'd really like to nip it in the bud. And I'm not sure what the lesson is.
