Canned and cooked spinach have fewer oxalates than raw spinach. But as with most things in life, there’s a trade-off.
Oxalates bind with certain other compounds, such as iron and calcium, and can prevent or reduce their absorption by the body. They have also been indicated in kidney stones, so if you have had kidney stones in the past, you should probably minimize your intake of oxalates. As for claims about causing autism and vaginal pain, there’s no scientific evidence.
On the other hand, raw spinach is considerably higher in its nutrient density than canned/cooked, and is very good for you. If you drink milk with spinach, you’ll get all the calcium you need, and the oxalates will not bind with the calcium in milk. Same with iron — there are many other sources.
Also, many other green leafy vegetables have oxalates, but they are part of a healthy diet, high in amino acids, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, protein.
So, basically, unless you have suffered from kidney stones, have no worries about spinach, or other green leafy vegetables. In 9 out of 10 cases, you’re getting too little, not too much.
