    Cooking it also reduces the chance of getting kidney stones. If you eat it raw, you gotta eat it with calcium so the acid combines with the calcium in the gut and not crystallized in the kidneys causing stones.

    But to add, people have different sensitivities. So you may be right to an extent. Some pay respond poorly to raw. But in my case organic raw leafy greens reduced my symptoms drastically and got me off meds for ms and lupus.

    I find eating spinach Raw not really that good either. Not all raw vegetables are great to eat raw because some of the leafy greens?. They're strong in nature especially kale greens and spinach they're very tough to bite down and chew on. I always say if you can bite down on a delicious leafy greens and it breaks down easy and your mouth and breaks easily in your hand I would find that edible without cooking. But something about spinach and kale greens that is just tough to break down and chew on. But when you do cook it it becomes way softer much more edible to eat and I always drink the liquid water left behind it that's where the real magic is.
    I tried eating spinach raw even kale green and I found a leafy greens to be very strange to chew down on. It's nowhere near like lettuce like iceberg lettuce even romaine lettuce is more of a crisp crunch and easy to swallow when you when you eat it. It's not like a tough Leaf I stay away from or I should say I stay away from eating any Raw vegetables that have a very tough eating material. If it's not easy with the nice crunchy breakdown it doesn't break easy in your hand?. I would recommend that you cook it because most likely it's that way for a reason and the nutrient levels could be toxic when known as toxins to the human body.
    Yes plants have a way of Defending itself against anything that tries to eat it it will develop a toxins that too much of it can be harmful for you. Animals have a different way of eating their body stomach and other organs are completely different than humans we're more delicate we are definitely different than the entire planet of species when it comes to eating Foods. We don't or should not eat everything raw just because an animal does it mean you should because most likely our cellular levels are completely different that's what allows animals to eat things Raw. If they couldn't they would probably be knocking at your door asking if they can use the kitchen. Which I wouldn't mind then I posted on UA-cam every day I would have a different animal coming into the kitchen and preparing something to eat that would be a sight to see. LOL 😂

    Here's the problem with this argument that it's good for you. Yes when you steam or boil it you will reduce the overall amount of oxalates. 1/2 cup of raw baby spinach has about 160 mg of oxalate. 1/2 cup of spinach that has been boiled for eight minutes contains 327 mg of oxalate. research shows that the human body can handle about 150 to 200 mg of Oxalate per day. When you eat more than that amount your body has to put the rest of the Oxalate into storage which can be in any tissue in the body. We all know how much spinach cooks down when you steam or boil it. So the question is is if you are going to eat some cooked spinach are you really only going to eat a half a cup of raw spinach that gets cooked down into perhaps a 16th of a cup… That's a guess but we all know how much it gets reduced when you cook it. Or are you more likely to cook down a bunch of raw spinach and eat a portion of at least a quarter of a cup if not a half cup? So maybe you've reduced the amount of oxalate by cooking it by say even 60 or 70% but spinach is so high to begin with and it cooks down so much you're more likely to eat more oxalates in cook spinach then in raw. And cooking doesn't degrade the molecule of oxalate cooking just helps leech it out. The data I used is from the Vulvar pain foundation which probably has the most accurate oxalate information out there because of the testing method that they used at the University of Wyoming. If you want to know more about oxalates check out Sally K Norton's excellent book called toxic super foods.
