About this listen
An acclaimed nutrition educator reveals how the foods you’re eating to get healthy might be making you sick.
“Sally Norton’s well-researched book makes a truly important contribution to the literature in revealing just how much oxalates can damage the human body.”—Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise
If you’re eating a healthy diet and you’re still dealing with fatigue, inflammation, anxiety, recurrent injuries, or chronic pain, the problem could be your spinach, almonds, sweet potatoes, and other trusted plant foods. And your key to vibrant health may be quitting these so-called superfoods.
After suffering for decades from chronic health problems, nutrition educator Sally K. Norton, MPH, discovered that the culprits were the chemical toxins called oxalates lurking within her “healthy,” organic plant-heavy diet. She shines light on how our modern diets are overloaded with oxalates and offers fresh solutions including:
- A complete, research-backed program to safely reverse your oxalate load
- Comprehensive charts and resources on foods to avoid and better alternatives
- Guidance to improve your energy, optimize mood and brain performance, and find true relief from chronic pain
In this groundbreaking guide, Norton reveals that the popular dictum to “eat more plants” can be misleading. Toxic Superfoods gives health-seekers a chance for improved energy, optimum brain performance, graceful aging, and true relief from chronic pain.
*Includes a downloadable PDF of figures and tables from the book
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews
“Who knew that some so-called superfoods could be the opposite of healthy? I’ll never forget when my twenty-one-year-old friend who drank daily spinach and almond milk smoothies came down with a kidney stone. Sally Norton’s well-researched book makes a truly important contribution to the literature in revealing just how much oxalates can damage the human body. The conventional advice to eat ‘mostly plants’ is seriously challenged by the reality that plants contain known toxins. Norton makes a compelling case that oxalates are the X factor contributing to many mysterious health conditions.” —Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise
“What if your favorite superfood was actually a supervillain? Sally Norton masterfully pinpoints the changes in our food system and eating style that have turned a common, natural occurring toxin into a potential public health crisis for people who are trying their best to eat well. Her simple and effective recommendations are grounded both in modern science and the principles of ancestral health.” —Aaron Blaisdell, PhD, UCLA professor of behavioral neuroscience
“As a medical profession, we have only recently begun to realize how commonly we are seeing oxalate issues be a part of the presentation of a wide variety of chronic illnesses. Sally has done an excellent job of bringing this information to our attention, including a clear program of exactly how to work with oxalate toxicity. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has been wrestling with poor health and not gotten the answers they need from the medical profession.” —Neil Nathan, MD, author of Toxic

This is new and really important and valuable information!
This is really helping me and my family unpick some health mysteries. I’m very grateful to SN for this research and for sharing this information with the world. After years of being vegan then Keto/paleo I’ve a lot of damage to undo tho I thought I was being so healthy.

A game changer for chronic illness!
This book is a must read for anyone suffering from chronic health issues, however big or small! After 12 years of suffering with a huge range of debilitating symptoms, from severe chronic fatigue, muscle and joint pain and dysautonomia to an ever growing list of food allergies, I am finally starting to heal using the information inside this book.
Having spent a decade trying every diet and supplement out there, spending tens of thousands on doctors visits, tests and treatment protocols, the answer was hidden in the “healthy” plant foods I was eating - oxalate.
This book is well-researched, thought-provoking and delivers clear, easy-to-follow steps to help you take control of your health. Even if you feel like you've tried everything, buy this book and give the low-oxalate diet a try – you won't regret it!

Explaining how healthy choices may not be that
The author tackles a controversial topic and backs her findings up with copious research, dating back decades, as well as by sharing her own personal experiences with oxalates. With just a few changes to my diet I’m starting to feel better already…hopefully utilising her advice and research will continue to help me heal decades of damage from toxic superfoods.

Noble Prize Worthy
The information in this book is a real eye opener. A complicated issue but clearly explained in a no nonsense way. Better understand a potential root cause of many illnesses and restore your health with this read. Empowering and filled with honest answers and a path to healing for those willing to truly listen. Take control of your health, make the change, see improvement and secure your future health. Don’t gamble with you or your families future health or simply accept chronic illness as a completely uncontrollable or random event, or dismiss it as an ageing inevitability. I hope this book and all those involved in pioneering this topic get the recognition they deserve. It is disturbing that something so toxic and yet so abundant in staple foods has been overlooked for so long and clearly exposes the total dysfunction in global healthcare systems, in governmental policies and nutritional teachings as millions of years of dietary evolution and science is scarily ignored or dismissed with ease by those that should know better and continue to steer us away from animal based eating as chronic illness runs rampant. You really have to be your own health advocate as profit before people continues to influence the agenda, send out mixed messages and research funding fails to uncover and treat the root cause of illness.

Groundbreaking important content
Overall, this is a very important book, summarising science and explaining key points of oxalate overdose. Having a university degree in biochemistry myself, I could do with yet more chemical details, but that would probably be over the total for most readers. The tables in the accompanying PDF are important, and the advice on caution dealing with this poison is well received. The narration is a little stiff, but supports the scientific aspects well.
I hope that this knowledge will be common soon, easing suffering as well as health expenditures everywhere.

An absolutely delusional and dangerous read
Not only this book is poorly structured and incredibly boring, the content of it is an absolute gibberish that has no references to any trustworthy researches whatsoever. If an argument like “my friend did what I said and started feeling better” is good enough for you then sure…
“Plant centric eating predisposes us to eating too many calories while remaining malnourished.” - an absolute shocker, is the author really an MD?
To make this book even more unbearable try the audible version read by the author.
To wrap it up, before buying this I should have checked out her instagram account to realise she is an absolute nutjob and avoid vasting money.
