Unfortunately I’m the bearer of bad news today. Kale – one of the biggest staples in a healthy lifestyle and a ubiquitous ingredient in our smoothies, is a veritable Chernobyl of poisons. The following list of chemicals and chemical compounds have been compiled and verified by a reliable source and cited by many different respectable peer-reviewed scientific journals. The dangers are real, and they’re based on hard facts.
The long list of potentially toxic ingredients found in ALL Kale (organic or otherwise) can be found here. You don’t need to get into the details of every ingredient when you know that many are associated with blindness, deafness, nerve-damage, Alzheimer’s, and even death.
The case is pretty clear; if you haven’t suffered severe debilitating illness yet you’ve dodged a bullet. The only healthy choice right now would be to stop eating Kale entirely.

Don’t be fooled by chemical phobia and the patently absurd nonsense posted by unqualified bloggers like “The Food Babe”.
I’m not claiming that everything is completely safe, or that there are no potential health concerns out there. I’m saying that it’s important to apply legitimate research and critical thinking when figuring out if something really is a danger or not. If the overwhelming scientific consensus says it’s not dangerous after decades of research, they’re probably right.
