do not eat cooked spinach

[Guest guest]

Norman Walker said in his book :

 

" We have in previous chapters, covered this important question of organic

 

versus inorganic atoms in our food. It is very vital to stress this

matter

in regard to oxalic acid. When the food is raw, whether whole or in the

form of juice, every atom in such food is vital ORGANIC and is replete

with

enzymes. Therefore, the oxalic acid in our raw vegetables and their

juices

is organic, and as such is not only beneficial but essential for the

physiological functions of the body.

 

The oxalic acid in cooked and processed foods, however, is definitely

dead,

or INORGANIC, and as such is both pernicious and destructive. Oxalic acid

 

readily combines with calcium. If these are both organic, the result is a

 

beneficial constructive combination, as the former helps the digestive

assimilation of the latter, at the same time stimulating the peristaltic

functions in the body.

When the oxalic acid has become INORGANIC by cooking or processing the

foods that contain it, then this acid forms an interlocking compound with

 

the calcium even combining with the calcium in other foods eaten during

the

same meal, destroying the nourishing value of both. This, results in such

a

serious deficiency of calcium that it has been known to cause

decomposition

of the bones. This is the reason I never eat cooked or canned spinach.

 

As to the oxalic acid itself, when converted into an inorganic acid by

cooking or processing the food, it often results in causing inorganic

oxalic acid crystals to form in the kidneys. "
