Can eating to much raw spinach be harmful.
Thanks

Yes, it has oxalic acid in it which stops the absorbtion of some minerals. I think you need to eat a lot before it would cause a problem, but something to be aware of.

This would be the least of my concerns to be honest... you can over eat nuts and other proteinaceous things and be much worse off. Overeating greens is on the bottom of my list for concerns.

If I don't feel like eating something, I don't eat it! Your body is always a good judge.

I sometimes will eat a pound of raw baby spinach at a sitting. I like it when the spinach isn't too salty tasting. However, this is not a staple for me, as I don't like it enough to eat this regularly.

I read just yesterday that some researchers claim that cooking the spinach activates the binding property of the oxalic acid. If so ....
