Raw greens.

[AdrianaH]

Hello again,
I hope you're not getting annoyed by finding me here more often... But lately it seems that I've been getting all of these questions... Please bare with me.. :o...
So the Next question is...
Are there any Greens and/Or leafy greens that shouldn't be eaten raw?
I read that some greens might cause your thyroid to slow down because of some of the raw greens...
And that this might be the cause of your metabolism slowing down...But,
How true is this? DO any of you know?

we read that about raw brocolli so my husband has been making kimchi with it but prior to that we had it raw in our salad all the time

You are advised to rotate your greens and do not use too much of any particular one.
This especially applies to the cruciferous greens such as kale, chard and spinach as they have oxalic acid which has the effect you spoke of if taken in large quantities.
Baby greens will not be as guilty.

I continued with my investigation and bumped onto a couple pages that Say that you Really have to rotate your Greens...

@ SPORT:
you're right and at first I was doing my green smoothies from basically the same greens mixed in one. But NOw that That I have a little more knowledge from yesterday I shall do what's right..:D
