Most healthy people can safely enjoy spinach as part of a varied diet.
Individuals with a history of certain kidney stones may benefit from discussing oxalate intake with their healthcare provider, but that does not make spinach "toxic."
Cruciferous Vegetables
Broccoli, cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower sometimes receive criticism because they contain goitrogens.
These compounds can interfere with iodine use under certain circumstances.
However, for most people consuming adequate iodine, these vegetables are considered highly nutritious.
Cooking also reduces many of these compounds.
Numerous health organizations continue to recommend cruciferous vegetables because they provide:
Fiber
Vitamin C
Folate
