Does spinach really negate absorption of calcium in the body?


Question:


Answers:
"Spinach also has a high calcium content. Once again, this is of negligible nutritional benefit because the oxalate in spinach also binds with calcium. By way of comparison, the body can absorb about half of the calcium present in broccoli, yet only around 5% of the calcium in spinach. Another negative for spinach is that oxalate can contribute to gout and kidney stones."
