Greens have a good Ca:Ph ratio, high in vit C
It high in the following but this and a varied diet would be very healthy :)


GOITROGENS:
This compound is implicated in the development of enlarged Thyroid Glands
(Goiters) and interfere with the uptake of Iodine.

OXALIC ACID:
This is a naturally occurring element in many plants and imparts a bitter
taste in greens such as mustard greens. This substance binds minerals...The
most important being Calcium. It binds with minerals which must be
eliminated through the Kidneys. In large or small quantities with improper
hydration this can lead to Kidney Stones and Kidney Damage.
