    Leaves don’t have many calories for their weight. Interesting trivia though.

  • @bradleymitcham100 says:

    Thank you Dr Greger for spreading such helpful info!

    Interesting because here’s where you agree with Dr. Berg, Dr. Ekberg, and all the other high fat, meat centric keto influencers.

    Should I worry about oaxylates? I used to eat a large container of spinach every week til I heard about that…

    • @aldenpartridge4773 says:

      As far as I can tell, if you were eating that much spinach and were fine before you should still be fine now with the oxalates. Now if you have ever had a kidney stone, you should limit oxalates.

    • @ninjaturtles12121 says:

      Spinach is not a dark green leafy vegetable. What sets dark green leafy vegetables apart is they don’t have oxalates

    Sad, folks are too scared to eat plants.

    That’s it?

    Does arugula count as dark green leafy vegetable? I eat it everyday. I don’t like Kale unless in a smoothie and those are expensive so I don’t make them everyday
