Ok to eat 1 lb of kale a day?

[Anonymous]

I'm just about to vomit over eating kale of any amount. It's so bitter and gross.

Not good for people with thyroid issues.

Just switch up your greens. Go to organic markets and there are many to try

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!

Actually vitamin K is fat-soluble, so your body stores it in fat tissue like vitamin D. It's not like vitamin C which is water soluble and can't be stored in the body. It does look like vitamin K toxicity is rare though and it is used, broken down, and expelled quickly. However, when writing that they probably don't anticipate a person ingesting such a high value daily. Everything in moderation OP.

That's too bad, bitter foods are some of the healthiest for you.

I like kale but not that much. Kale in high doses can be beneficial, see the Wahl diet for MS patients.
