Ok to eat 1 lb of kale a day?

[Anonymous]

At one point we were part of a CSA and had way too much kale. My husband would make himself raw kale salad. Barf. He endured it for the season and we never signed up again...

Came here to say this.

My health obsessed 20-something coworker missed eight weeks following surgery remove multiple stones from his daily raw kale smoothie habit.

I have kidney stones. My doctor told me to limit kale.

Not picking on just your doctor, most of them are idiots about nutrition science - they don't even learn it in medical school, so unless they take up the hobby of learning nutritional biochemistry in their spare time (few of them do), they are as clueless as the average person and they give a lot of very bad advice - like the doctor who told me to avoid potatoes like they were the plague.

Here's the truth about kale from a kidney specialist:

Spinach can cause kidney stones - don't go crazy with the spinach, poor Popeye was probably in constant pain passing stones.

You are outrageously stupid. The first thing she says is it's COOKED kale.

Please stay off this website.

You are incredibly angry and seemingly unstable. Please get help.

There was an article years ago about a woman who was consuming really excessive amounts of kale and it gave her hypothyroidism. You might want to look into that angle

Eating excessive amounts of anything isn’t good for you. Just looked up the nutrition profile: one pound bag of kale has (600mcg) 500% vit K, per serving. There are FIVE servings per bag. Just think about that. I

depends on how much time you like to spend in the bathroom!

I’m on warfarin and my doc says stay away from kale due to the vit K.

I think there are too many people on here who really don't understand nutrition or basic science. The body will simply expel the excess vitamin K. That 1 lb bag cooked down is really not that much. You're fine, OP. I hate kale and only eat it raw mixed into a smoothie with fruit to cover up the taste. But enjoy!

[Anonymous]

I’m not OP but I’ll post my new kale salad that I’m now obsessed with for lunch.
Chop kale fine
Add ranch dressing and sriracha sauce, chopped grape tomatos, cooked farro or barley, some walnuts, and a fried egg.

This is insanely good. I don’t usually like ranch dressing because it makes lettuce soggy but it’s perfect with kale.

Put it in a soup. Reduces to nearly nothing.
