This is what I mean, though. How many people regurgitating "Be sure to watch out for oxalates!" know that we're talking about thousands of grams of spinach?

Looking it up, people generally eat 50-200mg of oxalates per day with 1000mg being the outlier high end.

Eat your spinach. If you're worried, then cook it.

Well there's the dose that kills you, but there's also the dose that over time gives you kidney stones, if you're prone to that.
