why do you need beta carotene, also it is a pro oxidant for humans too.
You say our digestive systems are best in the world, but many people have got kidney stones due to oxalates present in spinach, so your argument is invalid.
Kidney stones are a common urological condition that can cause significant pain and discomfort. At Ace Hospital, Pune’s premier urology specialty hospital, we

First, it is a provitamin A. Second, no, not really. You need high concentrations.
That makes 0 sense. No average adult gets kidney stones due to the oxalates present in spinach. I'm not debating the existence of if it's
ever possible to get kidney stones from spinach, because it doesn't matter. You're using existing science to back up a claim that doesn't make sense. The reality of it is, people who are getting kidney stones are not getting it because they mainly fucking eat
spinach. You're insane if you truly deeply believe that.
Just because a lot of people have faulty brakes in their cars it doesn't mean every car is designed poorly. Humans are complicated and they're not 1:1. The first article are just recommendations what to do if you already have or are prone to kidney stones, not that it causes them in most people who eat spinach. The second paper just explains that to avoid calcium oxalate stones, people should drink enough water, avoid foods high in oxalate (which I'm not disagreeing with by the way), and
eat a sufficient amount of calcium. Just like the milk/cottage and spinach study, most people are not rawdogging every meal with pure spinach without ANY other food item present.
I've already explained that what you say is 'technically' sometimes true but it's heavily
heavily misleading, almost to the point I feel like you're intentionally trying to be dishonest. Show me a study where a
normal, healthy,
average human adult diet that adding spinach is going to significantly increase your chances of kidney stones. There's not going to be any because it makes no sense to anyone who actually understands the science. It's clear that you understand the science at a very surface level and nothing beyond that.
I like debating with you because you're one of the very few users who doesn't just say stuff to say it, you try to back up what you claim and you try to properly explain your arguments. I like that trait in someone. But I also don't understand the desire to keep going when it's clear when you're incorrect.
Everything up until this point, you have not proven why spinach is bad for you (or why you should even cut it out of your diet), just that SOME people get kidney stones. Your logic of "well it's harder therefore don't" or "it's harder therefore it's harmful" is
dumb. I'm not going to pretend it's a valid argument because it's not.
