Remember the WEEDS??..oxalic acid
Oh, I did want to perhaps refine some of Dr. D’s recs on the
beneficial veggies.
According to the Metab. Type authors(there “HB” goes again with
another “diet cult”)the presence of oxalic acid in many of them tasty
weeds(chard{swiss?},beet greens, beets, endive, GREEN
PEPPERS,spinach,asparagus{and the broccoli-asparagus hybrid too?}, &
EVEN TOMATOES) & some other veggies too……(I bet the escarole is
in there too)……BOTTOMLINE, if you’re a PROTEIN TYPE, they
recommended that you COOK these to eliminate the oxalic acid.
What’s wrong with oxalic acids you say? Apparently it interferes
with the absorption of calcium. MIXED TYPE people tend to have more
freedom though. Why? I have no clue.
OVERALL, I say listen to your instinct. I have gotten “sick” after
eating many times these items cold and have experienced a GAGGING
FEELING. Many times even if I’ve cooked these various veggies,, the
whole salty/chalky taste of it would repel me. How bout you guys?

get it.)
