[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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 [/quote]

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.
