I am in the U.K and didn't hear about the spinach thing here so was it the U.S .. I haven't exactly had time for the papers recently though.

just to update I have now discovered that although spinach is high in Iron it is also high in oxalates which prevent iron absorption into the body. Nothings good for you anymore.

United States had the E. Coli outbreak and as far as I know Spinach is a great source of Iron...I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

the outbreak is in the us, the spinach was from Salinas California. spinach is a great source of iron, so i do think it inhibits absorption of iron.
