People Are Getting Seriously Sick From Eating Kale: Find out why this superfood is actually super-poisoning.

that's why we should eat ONLY what our grandfathers cook.Balanced diet ,tested ingredients

Kale's nasty. Spinach's way better.

Yea thats interesting, collards were mentioned too, and I grew and ate a lot of kale and collards last summer. I guess just everything in moderation.

Well with all that sure glad you didn't add pussy to that list

Fuck you, you write your subject / headline like Facebook post.

Interesting...
Right around the time I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, my doc kept pushing me to eat kale. I've still never tried it close to 10 years later.
Switched doctors a couple of times between then and now, and those doctors kept pushing me to "Eat more greens, especially kale." Always mentioning kale.

Maybe they didn't know how bad it was back then, but then again I have my own theories on why doctors push certain things.

Kālī is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment, or shakti. She is the mighty aspect of the goddess Durga. The name of Kali means 'black one' and 'force of time' she is therefore called the Goddess of Time, Change, Power, Creation, Preservation, and Destruction.

She is often portrayed standing or dancing on her consort, the Hindu god Shiva.

Kālī is the feminine form of kālam ("black, dark coloured"). Kāla primarily means "time", but also means "black"; hence, Kālī means "the black one" or "beyond time". Kāli is strongly associated with Shiva, and Shaivas derive the masculine Kāla from her feminine name.

Other names include Kālarātri ("black night"), as described above, and Kālikā ("relating to time"), and Kallie ("black alchemist").

And how would you write it?

Newsflash: Canadians don't like vegetables.

I clicked through a few of the articles to find some real info and am not too impressed. The guy was running experiments in the kitchen of the house boat he lives on.

His primary theory is that thallium (being super rare) in the soil comes from the "steadily increasing" burning of coal and production of coal ash. The cruciferous veggies pull it out of the soil.

Except.....coal ash production has been on a sharp decline for decades. The coal industry is in the shitter. Almost every major piece of heavy coal mining equipment was scrapped in the last decade.

Even in the concrete industry, which LOVES calcium-silica rich coal "fly ash" is seeing the price skyrocket as the supplies decline sharply.

If this stuff is pulling thallium out of the soil from coal, the levels should be declining rapidly as we produce precious little of it than we did 50 years ago.

Interesting concept, but imma need more info than a dude in a house boat kitchen with a theory that doesn't match current data.

Even if you are picking up lots of heavy metals from eating too many leafy greens, 90% of Americans don't have a "too many veggies in their diet" problem.

When obesity and every other gluttony-related disorders have fallen to record lows, THEN it might be time to tell people to lay off the kale. Until then, put down the Hot Pocket and eat some dammed greens. Shit is tasty if you don't cook it like a moron.

Depends on what you grow the shit in.

I believe Kale can also cause hyperthyroidism if eaten in large quantity due to its high iodine content.

Damn, I like kale chips. Kale, baked in oven with some sea salt, garlic and rosemary.

Like candy.

So, all the things people were told to eat because they were healthy super foods, are actually "harmful"?



Fuck you.

If you grow your own, in soil you know something about and away from pollution, you likely have nothing to worry about. Both those greens are tough and can take extremes of temperature so most people can grow them without problems, making them a staple since....the stone ages. Collards are loved in the South because they can take hot weather but also will stand up to those first frosts. Kale will come up when it's still too cold for everything else in the garden. It's commercial growers you can't be too sure of.

Kale isn't "super poisoning."

It's super delicious, and super healthy.

Damn straight!!

Kale chips are damn good.

I think all this article proves is that moderation is key. People can get overly zealous and may think that since kale is good for you, the more you eat the better.. when in actuality if you eat too much you'll be doing more harm than good.

Well, "they" really are killing us. Why not with fertilizers.
Damn! I love cabbage.

Thats kelp :)

I am all about moderation. It is also very expensive up here, so it is a treat thing. Especially in the winter. I am going to try and grow it next summer though.

lol.. yeah you're right that is kelp.

Why is it when I was growing up make was fucking garnish then flash forward thirty years and it's a superfood. Was always suspicious to me...

Been eating kale for 52 years and am never sick. This is BS.

Yes balanced diet

The mere garbage you stuff yourself wtih nearly daily is a lot more hazardous than kale. This is all due to meat industry failing slowly.

Ofcourse the greens are bad!! Eat our cloned beef, bag-grown chickens or our pen-pork.. Do not buy veggies.

And certainly do not cook at home, its dangerous! Lots of bacteria. Poor people, they are so scared and confused they dont know what to believe.

folks avoid it for kids here as well known to be covered in pesticides (bugs love kale)... municipal water contains heavy metals in the west too...
