So spinach is bad for young children, but how young is young??
Question: I've been trying to find out at what age is eating spinach ok or alot less bad for you. From my research I have found out why spinach is bad for young children; oxalic acid, and nitrites. Oxalic acid is bad because it stunts growth, and nitrites because it is a poison that results after reheating spinach leftovers. For those of you concerned nitrites are only slightly poisonous. Nitrites won't harm adults, unless a lot, and I mean a lot of reheated spinach is consumed. All the sites I found said that spinach is only bad for young children. They didn't say how young is young, that's why I want to know. One site I found said that nitrites can be dangerous for children 6 months and younger. That’s the only source I found that mentioned any precise age. Only having one source saying that age, is not enough for me. If anyone else knows more about this please include your source/s. Thank you. ^_^
Answers: I would not worry over a small amount of cooked spinach after a year old. By the way people with kidney disease should take it easy with high oxalic acid products, and the highest source of nitrites is cured meat (ham, bacon, hot dogs).
