Mold and Oxalates: Why You Should Watch for These Two Compounds
Teri Cochrane on
Fall is here, and with it comes beautiful foliage, cozy sweaters, and... mold season.
But did you know that there's a surprising connection between oxalates and mold sensitivities that might make you think twice about your autumn menu?
Mold, which can thrive in damp environments, releases mycotoxins. These harmful compounds can wreak havoc on our health, especially if we have mold sensitivities. But here's the twist: oxalates, those compounds found in various foods, can make the situation even worse!
Oxalates have a unique ability to bind to minerals like calcium, acting like a magnet for them in our bodies. When we consume oxalate-rich foods, these compounds can accumulate, making it challenging for our bodies to properly detoxify and manage mycotoxins.

Supports the livers natural detoxification process and cellular health
Made from broccoli and other naturally-sourced ingredients
DIM Detox promotes healthy cell cycle function and hormone metabolism to support the liver's natural detoxification process. DIM Detox includes ingredients like broccoli sprout concentrate to promote phase II detoxification pathways and healthy cell metabolism. The glucosinolates in broccoli, including indole-3-carbinol and sulforaphane, help support healthy detoxification. BioResponse DIM® provides 25 mg per serving of a highly absorbable form of diindolylmethane, an important metabolite of indole-3-carbinol. These compounds promote healthy estrogen metabolism and cell cycle activity. Calcium-D-glucarate targets beta-glucuronidase enzyme activity, promoting healthy hormone detoxification through the glucuronidation pathway. Lignans, such as 7-hydroxymatairesinol (HMR), are converted in the body to enterolactone. Research indicates that dietary intake of lignans and healthy serum enterolactone levels provide support for cellular, heart, breast, bone and cognitive health. Silymarin, alpha lipoic acid and n-acetyl-l-cysteine act to support phase II detoxification enzyme activity in the liver and offer antioxidant support for cellular protection. Taurine, glycine and methionine promote phase II detoxification pathways and healthy cell metabolism.

So, during the fall mold season, it's crucial to be mindful of your oxalate intake. Here's why:
- Overburdened Detoxification: Mycotoxins put a strain on our detox systems. When combined with a high oxalate diet, it's like giving your body extra work to do when it's already in overdrive.
- Inflammation: Mold sensitivities often lead to inflammation. Oxalates, found in foods like spinach, beets, and almonds, can be pro-inflammatory for some, compounding the issue.
- Digestive Health: Mold and oxalates can both irritate the gut. When your digestive system is already compromised, this double whammy can be particularly uncomfortable.
This fall, consider reducing your oxalate intake, especially if you're dealing with mold sensitivities. Opt for low-oxalate foods like zucchini and squashes, and steer clear of high-oxalate choices like spinach, beets, and almonds.
Remember, your health is a priority, and being mindful of your diet can make all the difference during mold season. Stay well and enjoy the beauty of autumn!
