Former NASCAR and IndyCar driver, Danica Patrick, recently shared an Instagram story with Dr. Paul Saladino. The brief podcast shared was titled ‘Worst Vegetables to Eat.’ And the two of them discussed the same. Having retired from her racing career, Patrick has continued to make media appearances and is quite active on social media. 

Her recent conversation with Dr. Paul Saladino is not only informative but also entertaining.

In the podcast, we see her getting horrified at Dr. Saladino’s revelation and saying, “We need to end this interview. It’s over. I am Done,” in a joking manner.

Danica Patrick can’t believe this vegetable is on the worst vegetables to eat list

Dr. Saladino is a Nutrition Specialist. Famous on Instagram by the name @carnivoremd_2.0, he shares posts and information about evolutionary consistent lifestyle. As the name suggests, he encourages an animal-based diet to live a healthy lifestyle. 

During the podcast, Dr. Saladino stated that while talking about nutrients, all discussions should actually be framed in terms of bio-availability. By this, he meant that one should be aware of how much nutrients can be derived from a plant.

To explain his take on spinach, Dr. Saladino asked Danica Patrick why she eats the vegetable. Elaborating the question, he asked her if she eats spinach for a particular mineral or vitamin. To this, Patrick replied, “I am eating it because I do think that there are some nutrients to it. But I also think that there’s fiber in it.”

Why is spinach on Dr. Paul Saladino’s worst vegetable list?

Shocked by Dr. Saladino’s disapproval of spinach, Patrick lost it. And when Dr. Saladino started to explain why spinach is “really interesting,” Patrick tried to stop him. With uncontrollable laughter, she began requesting, “Don’t ruin my life!”

But as Dr. Saladino continued his explanation. He said, “No actually it’s (spinach) really high in oxalate. Most kidney stones in the world, I think 80% are calcium oxalate kidney stones.”

“Where do we get oxalate? We get oxalate from things like almonds, spinach, rhubarb, beets, beet greens … and chocolate also is pretty high in oxalate.”
