Frequently Asked Questions

Does Leeks, (bulb and lower leaf-portion), cooked, boiled, drained, with salt contain anti-nutrients?
Oxalates (spinach, beet greens, Swiss chard — bind calcium). Goitrogens (raw cruciferous — broccoli, kale, cabbage — can impair thyroid iodine uptake). Cooking cruciferous vegetables deactivates goitrogens. Pair high-oxalate greens with calcium-rich foods (they bind in gut, not kidneys). Avoid green potatoes. Only a concern with very high raw intake + iodine deficiency (for goitrogens) or kidney stone history (for oxalates).
