A former raw vegan describes severe health problems from kale juice, including oxalic acid poisoning. Kale absorbs thallium, a heavy metal more toxic than lead, and PFAS forever chemicals from soil. The speakers argue kale's health reputation comes from marketing hype, not actual nutrition.
Kale is garnish.
Until 2014, when the.
Kale Marketing association came out. Pizza Hut bought it to put around the salads so the salad would look pretty. That was the use of kale.
And it was a starvation food if.
You really needed it. But then people started eating it. I fell for kale. One of the reasons I really talk about it a lot is I was a raw vegan, a devout raw vegan, and it gave me major health problems. And I'm still dumping the oxalic acid from my system to this day, from the time I just drank excessive amounts of kale juice. I warned Joe Rogan about it on his show a couple times and all that. But since that we know about oxalic acid, we know about thallium, which is an extremely toxic metal, much worse than lead that accumulates in it. And last week they just found out that more of the. They call them forever chemicals. But the pfas, some of which are in mattresses, not in essential mattresses, but in common ones, they accumulate best in kale as well. Really well. So it turns out like this is the garbage collector plant. Like, oh, let me just eat the garbage collector plant. And that was, like, widespread 10 years ago. Kill wasn't everything, right?
And it's still widespread. So this is the idea.
Of marketing over substance.
