At my youth days, I was told the iron in spinach would make me strong, the notion propagated by Popeye the sailor-man.I read somewhere online today that because scientists failed to sufficiently remove clinging soil in the labs, iron levels appeared unusually high in certain vegetables like spinach!
Which basically translated to "Spinach does not actually contain as exorbitant amount of iron as Popeye expected."
Now, tell me what to believe and what not!
May be I should stick with steak, just like Popeye's hamburger-eating friend Wimpy; or eat only orchids just like his other animal friend - at least he could tell the future!
