A ground-breaking guide to becoming a person who follows a low oxalate diet. Well-researched, measured and full of inspiring case histories, this book introduces us to the potentially harmful impact of a diet rich in foods containing high levels of oxalates - the group noun for the different chemical toxins produced by many plants. Are our beloved superfoods like almonds, spinach and sweet potato actually supervillains? In a world increasingly enamoured of plant-based eating, Sally Norton, nutrition educator and author, has produced a roadmap to wellness that is a radical challenge to the basic idea that all plants are good for all people all of the time.

With comprehensive charts and resources on foods to avoid and foods to swap in as better alternatives, ample guidance on how to eat to improve energy and mood for the long term, as well as how to find relief from chronic pain and other oxolate-related symptoms, this is a book to help re-examine what we think we know about plant foods and to begin to understand how some of those plant foods may actually be causing us harm.
