i reside in Nairobi the capital city of kenya.some unscrupulous people in the eastern side of the city have perforated the sewage pipes and do sprinkler overhead irrigation and grow kale and spinach underneath it.These are the 2 most popular vegetables and which are the most sold.Juice extraction from these and other vagetables are very commonly used and blended as anti-cancer cocktails.Green houses are being increasingly used to grow a wide range of vegetables and fruits. Some herbicides are imported and due to weak law enforcement are used even when they have been banned in the country of origin.The EEC has actually acknowledged the problem and we are hoping to see the harmful chemicals being banned by the rogue manufactures.Otherwise i agree that we need to be extra cautious otherwise it is a situation of out of the frying pan into the fire.

In reply to Richard. Though isn't water the one thing that helps flush out toxins of all types, so maybe there is something about chugging in todays chemical obsessed world! Speaking of scriptural, I always wondered just how much water Jesus drank that day in Samaria (or Shomron for you Hebrew fans).

In reply to Mary. I noticed that too. My thought, if it is in organic grown, it is also in inorganic, plus the chemicals. No brainer here, organic all the way!

In reply to Daci Armstrong. That is to funny. Well, as far as meat, they have now lab produced meat…but no thanks. Never will cross my lips.

Thanks for the awareness you provided, regarding the harmful effects you can experience in consuming excessive amounts of Kale. Sure your readers will benefit from such advise.
I also appreciated your article’s ending, stating the benefits derived by eating Kale, not excessively, but in smaller portions, and not treated by harmful pesticides. If possible home grown is more desirable.

I have always in my life of 84 years never eaten KALE! I think it is like eating a bath mat. I do eat in moderation everything. I don’t eat much meat at all as I have to cook it and I hate cleaning my stove.

I grow my own and I don’t use chemicals.

In reply to Susan Ransom. In this article you said that it seems more of the toxic mineral thallium is found in organically and other traces of heavy metals in organically grown kale. Then it goes on to say in another paragrath that says the important thing is to choose organic Kale . So which is it ? Maybe you should proof read your articals before printing them.

Dear Healthy eaters,
I have been trying to tell people of the dangers in kale for years. My newsletter highlighted the ability of cruciferous vegetables to pull the toxins from the soil and concentrate them in the plant. The study found that organic and non-organic kale both had high levels of toxins in them. Kale is the worst plant to pull these toxins form the soil they are grown in.
If you know the soil/water that the plants are grown in are healthy than the kale should be healthy but do not eat the kale from the regular store. The kale plant seems to be pulling the toxins from the soil and is full of toxins, organic or non-organic.
