Birhan added that the health problem she is referring to is “kidney stones,” calling on those suffering from them and those most susceptible to them to stay away from spinach completely.
The clinical nutritionist explained that spinach contains a high percentage of oxalates, which are salts that lead to the formation of kidney stones, especially if their levels in the body rise.
She revealed that there are other foods rich in oxalate, which the diet of kidney stone patients should be completely free of, such as okra, beets, nuts, and soybeans.
