pepper: black pepper is an intestinal irritant when cooked as its molecular structure changes, better to add pepper to meal after cooked , jalepenos very high in vit C, kills parasites

spinach: high in oxalic acid but also high in beneficial beta carotene and considered anti-cancerous

I consider any seed bearing plant or tree to be intended for man's use, although some are very alkaline and others acidic, they have other important nutritional factors to be considered. Each has a unique blend of vitamins, minerals, bi-flavinoids, some are higher in fiber than others but all are necessary. I have seen many recommend a ratio of 80% alkaline foods to 20% acidic, that is alkaline foods should be dominate.

There aren't any fruits/vegetables/nuts that I don't eat unless I just don't like them, I just work on trying to have balance.
