I often receive questions about oxalic acid in spinach. Here is an excerpt from the book Green Smoothie Revolution, page 34.
QUESTION: Should I avoid eating spinach because it has oxalic acid?
VICTORIA: The oxalic acid in food is considered harmful because it can combine with calcium and may leach the body of this important mineral. For some reason everyone knows of the oxalic acid in spinach, but is not aware of the oxalic acid content in many other commonly eaten foods such as grains, beans, and especially coffee and tea. While spinach is loaded with calcium which minimizes the loss of this mineral from your body, coffee has none. I would be more concerned about the oxalic acid content in coffee and other products than in spinach. At the same time, even though the oxalic acid content in spinach is minute, if you do not rotate your greens and use only spinach for many weeks, you may accumulate oxalic acid and experience symptoms of poisoning. Remember, rotate your greens!

Our friends at Food Matter had such an overwhelming response to their popular DVD, ‘Food Matters,’ they have been asked to produce a targeted learning program especially about heart disease.

“There is much truth in the saying ‘you are what you eat’. It is no surprise then that one of the most common factors linking people with heart disease is poor dietary and lifestyle habits. This typically includes a diet which is high in processed food, bad fats, sugars and ‘fast food’ and which is deficient in whole fresh foods such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and legumes”-- James Colquhoun & Laurentine ten Bosch, Producer Directors, Food Matters.

After seeing the Dr. Ann video I posted a couple of days ago, Leisa Wheeler, a Naturopathic Doctor in Australia, emailed me her video version of the Green Smoothie.
In this video Leisa talks about Dr. Ann’s origination of Energy Soup, and how Victoria Boutenko, a Wigmore student, turned it into the “Green Smoothie” to make it more palatable and thus, more popular.
Leisa’s website is EmbracingHealthBlog.com.
18 minutes.
I’m sure you will get a lot out of it

Renata on Raw
Do you like being in your kitchen and preparing food? I mean do you really like to be in your kitchen?
For me, it is very important to be surrounded by colors, light and utensils I like to handle. After all, I want to prepare delicious food, and the main ingredients besides organic produce (if possible) is lots of love. That means my spirit must be in a good mood in order to transfer love into the food.
I don’t want to sound too esoteric about this rather intangible ingredient “love.” By now many of us have heard about vibrations. I am sure you have been in a situation where somebody emanated less than loving vibrations towards you. Not a pleasant spot to be, wouldn’t you agree?
However, if you are in the presence of lovebirds, the love they radiate seems to be so catching. And it is actually catching. We feel touched by love. Pets feel the love and even plants, as studies have shown (Secret Life of Plants). Can you imagine how your body and the people you delight with your culinary creations will change if they continuously are exposed to this loving vibration via food?
I need to be in a loving space, mentally and physically, in order to prepare food. That means my environment reflects my taste in dishes, in silverware and yes, even the strainers. Anything I handle on a daily basis must be zangy, zingy and zippy. Purple salad utensils, green plates, various colorful dishes, little cheerful containers for leftovers. You get the idea.
You must have fun in the kitchen, especially when transitioning. It is a new chapter in your life. Time to let go of the old (Goodwill stores are just around the corner)… which holds a lot of memories and might keep you in old patterns.
Fun, sunny dishes and gadgets must not be expensive. Any “dollar store” has great kitchenware for a very reasonable price. Pick your favorite colors and play.
Practicality is another ingredient in the raw kitchen. You might want to cover your stove with a big cutting board (cut the electricity/gas to prevent accidents) which gives you more counter space. Leave blender and food processor close by. Rearrange your fridge for convenient handling of the various foods such as top shelf for sprouts, middle shelf for leftovers, get one or two big extra containers for the kale and collards, wash them before storage. I think you are catching on…
Have fun and enjoy!
Renata

Jim,
Just thought I would drop a line to you saying thanks so much for the information in the complete package I bought. A group from my church watch a DVD each Friday evening. I prepare a raw food dinner and we have lost over 150lbs in our small group.
I no longer have to take over three hundred dollars of medicines a month.
We watched Matt Monarch come speak Paul Nison came once, then I was able to have him come to our church and speak and really encouraged many people.
Now on December 15th we are having a Healthy For the Holidays Fair at my church.
We have free chair massages, teaching on essential oils, teaching on Raw Foods and I will be putting on a Food Prep Class three times during the day and we have classes on water.
Just saying thanks, as I work to finish my Masters degree in Rehabilitation Counseling I wish I could do an internship at the Union City location but I am having trouble getting time.
Paul Nison suggested I come to Palm Beach to work but I wish I could do the energy exchange program.
But like I said it is just a dream at this point may over the summer between classes.
