Spinich is similar along the lines of feeding things such as broccoli. They contain too many ’goitrogens’ and should be avoided in their diet. However, if some snuck into their food it wouldn’t do any real harm. It should just be avoided as a regular dietary supplement.

I thought also (though I could be wrong) that Spinach is higher in Oxalates which have the potential to bind up gut-content calcium...

I’ll have to look that one up again.
