Spinach is often promoted as a healthy green, but contains FAR more downsides than good sides...

Spinach is one of the highest oxalate foods that's commonly eaten by modern humans (in addition to beet greens, beets, almonds, and other veggies and nuts).

The amount of oxalates in a serving of spinach is extremely high, up to 600 mg in a normal sized bowl. The "safe" amount of oxalates in a daily diet according to world renowned oxalate expert Sally Norton should be between 100-200 mg per day total to avoid a lot of the health problems caused by high oxalate plants.

So you can see how concerning spinach is with these extremely high oxalate levels.

The problem with eating too much oxalates too frequently is that it can cause serious issues such as kidney stones, thyroid problems, gut damage, skin issues, and joint pain.

In fact, some people have even gotten "oxalate poisoning" by drinking green smoothies too often and had to go to the ER for kidney failure.

In addition, the nutrients in spinach such as calcium and iron are very poorly absorbed by the human body, with a dismal 3-4% bioavailability. Compare that to the very high bioavailability (high absorption) of nutrients like iron and calcium in meat and dairy at 30-40% bioavailability.

Overall, I believe that spinach has more cons than pros, and I avoid it. Dozens of my clients and friends have also reported dramatically improved digestion and less joint pain when eliminating leafy greens such as spinach.
