Pickled vegetables dangerous?

[martaluna]

I'm kind of new to TF, so first of all can someone tell me if pickled vegetables are the same thing as lacto-fermented? Sorry if it is a dumb question.

I came across this information on Dr. Oz website and I was very suprised to see that pickled vegetables are considered bad for you:

Thanks!

The article is referencing pickled stuff you buy in a store. Very different from lacto-fermented and also different from home pickled stuff.
