Plants lace their seed with natural pesticides to deter pests and predators.  These pesticides that plants produce are called oxalates.  These oxalates form crystals that prick the predators mouth.  Plant also load their seeds with oxalates as a way to store calcium for the offspring.

While oxalates are useful as a calcium storage mechanism for plants, its toxic to humans in acute and chronic amounts.  Oxalic acid grabs calcium and forms oxalic acid - which is the main ingredient in kidney stones.  
​

Oxalates can impact nearly every bodily system:

- Neurological symptoms ( Disturbs sleep and adversely affects coordination, memory, learning, and concentration )
- They cause allergies via mast cell degeneration and histamine release
- Can facilitate fibromyalgia and carpals tunnel syndrome
- Linked to osteoporosis
- Implicit in breast cancer
- Destroys intestinal villi causing leaky gut ( main cause of all autoimmune disorders)

-millet
-spinach
