plant defenses

What plant defenses should I be concerned about besides calcium oxalate crystals in some plants and toxins, solanine, in nightshade vegetables? And some beans being toxic uncooked? as someone who has had longterm health issues (getting a lot better since going vegan). This q also is for raw vegan diet, not cooked vegetables.

Also, just recently finding out about the oxalate problem. I had a bone spur in my neck in the past, n recently had found calcium oxalate crystals in 3 different companies' bags of baby spinach. Since it can form stones and damage the body, concerned about it. Of course, only about the worse oxalate foods, since it's in so much. Like I won't be eating crystal covered spinach anymore. Had no idea it gets like that before recently.
