Why Kale is Not Good for You

August 9, 2022 by Anya Leave a Comment

If you follow the latest health trends, you know that kale is viewed as a superfood vegetable that everyone should eat daily. So why would I even say that kale is not so good for you? Well, here is the thing,  kale is actually super-poisoning.

Kale is Full of Toxic Heavy Metals

Did you know that kale is hiding a nasty secret? It contains dangerous levels of heavy metals. Kale accumulates thallium. Thallium is  more toxic  than lead, mercury, cadmium, or arsenic. In fact, thallium can damage the mitochondria of cells.  Three pilot studies, performed  in 2014 and 2015, tested samples of fresh vegetables in California for toxic heavy metals. The analyses of both organic and non-organic samples found 6 of 25 foods tested high in thallium, the majority of which were found in kale.

Kale Contains Anti-Nutrients

Kale also contains oxalates, which it uses to protect itself from humans linked to kidney stones, gout, autism, and vaginal pain. Oxalates form in kale to protect it from predation by animals, insects and fungi. When oxalates bind to calcium in your blood, tiny, sharp oxalic acid crystals form and can be deposited anywhere in the body. When this happens in the kidneys, it causes kidney stones. They are anti-nutrients and can cause lots of problems.

Kale Contains thyroid inhibitors known as Goitrogens.

Goitrogens are substances that suppress the function of the thyroid gland by interfering with iodine uptake. Goitrogens act by inhibiting iodine metabolism which is needed in the formation of thyroid hormones.  Thus, eating kale can suppress your thyroid’s hormone production which can lead to fatigue, coldness in your body and a sluggish metabolism.
