A member asked:
Is 3-4 cups of raw spinach or kale per day in a smoothie too much? i've heard the oxalates can be dangerous.

No: There's nothing wrong with that much spinach/kale in your diet unless your taking coumadin. Warfarin is a blood-thinning medication that helps treat and prevent blood clots. However, certain foods and beverages can make it so warfarin doesn't effectively prevent blood clots. It's important to pay attention to what you eat while if your taking this medication.
