Kale

“is kale. It has lutein and zeaxanthin. It's been shown to increase the bioavailability of those compounds by fourfold. It also has higher levels of potassium and other micronutrients and has more fiber. I personally like that.”

“There's a lot of stuff that has high oxalates and people don't think about it. They can really fuck you up. Kale, for instance. Like I used to drink kale smoothies all the time. Until another doctor told me you really should cook the kale, cook it and then filter out whatever the water's in it.”

“They drink a lot of those green smoothies, which I used to do every day. I used to take a bunch of kale, throw in a bunch of apples and some ginger and some garlic and blend it all up and drink at the beginning of the day. I thought I was doing a good thing. And he was like, you're just blasting your system with oxalates.”
