Spinach is a good source of vitamins A and C, and also of the minerals iron and calcium; but it is no more nutritious than other green leafy vegetables. The myth stems from a parental desire for children to eat vitamin-rich vegetables. Cartoons, showing a muscular sailor-hero magically growing stronger by swallowing the contents of a can of spinach, help feed the myth.

Boys and Girls
What do you think Spinach and Oysters have in common?
A/- Iron. Iron makes a man stronger when he goes to bed with his wife, if you know what I mean
Chocolate is supposed to work with the ladies, as a dessert.

It used to be considered exceptionally high in iron, and thus contribute to strength. Popeye was developed to capitalize on the healthiness of spinach and to entice children to eat more of it.
It was decades later that they discovered a decimal point error in the original calculation of its iron content. It was actually only 1/10th as potent as they originally thought.

I think the Popeye thing was a myth during war time to get youngsters to eat their veg. A modern day version is the Green Giant advert.
Spinach being a green leafy veg is packed full of vitamins and is really good for you. I've taken to adding it curries lately - mmmmmm
