<<Spinach, [b][u]along with other green, leafy vegetables[/u][/b], contains an appreciable amount of iron attaining 21% of the Daily Value in a 100 g (3.5 oz) amount of raw spinach (table). A long-lasting persistent myth is that spinach contains significantly more iron than other green vegetables. [b][u][color=#008000]The source behind the myth was a study from the 1930s which misplaced a decimal point and thus made it appear as if spinach contained ten times as much iron as it really did.[/color][/u][/b] The comics and cartoon character Popeye the Sailor Man has been portrayed since 1931 as having a strong affinity for spinach, becoming physically stronger after consuming it.>>[/quote][/quote]

He’s lucky he didn’t end up “[url=https://www.livestrong.com/article/411787-side-effects-of-spinach/]Poopy[/url]” the Sailor Man. And the missing [url=https://www.livestrong.com/article/89790-stop-constipation-due-iron-supplements/]iron[/url] wasn’t going to help. :no:

The spinnach could still have made him [url=https://blog.liebherr.com/appliances/com/spinach-and-the-iron-myth/]stronger[/url] depending on its [url=https://www.bestthinking.com/articles/science/chemistry/biochemistry/the-spinach-popeye-iron-decimal-error-myth-is-finally-busted]source[/url]. :?:

[b] Explanation: [/b] What's happening on the horizon? The horizon itself, past a [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinach]spinach[/url] field in [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemala]Guatemala[/url], shows not only trees but a large volcano: the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volc%C3%A1n_de_Fuego]Volc�n de Fuego[/url] (Volcano of Fire). The red glow at the top of the volcano is hot lava. But your [url=http://www.commentsyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/All-Cats-Looking-Up-540x338.jpg]eye may also be drawn[/url] to the blue circle above the horizon on the left. This circle surrounds the [url=https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/moon]Moon[/url] and, together with other colors, is called [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap150615.html]a corona[/url]. A [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap160111.html]corona[/url] is caused by [url=http://www.atoptics.co.uk/droplets/corform.htm]diffraction[/url] of light -- here moonlight -- by small water droplets in the [url=https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/images/463940main_atmosphere-layers2_full.jpg]Earth's intervening atmosphere[/url]. A break in the clouds on the right shows stars and even the [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap170829.html]planet Saturn[/url] far beyond the volcano. Although [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiYM4P-I4io]Volc�n de Fuego[/url] frequently undergoes low-level activity, the astrophotographer considered himself lucky to capture the scene just during an [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap150311.html]explosive eruption[/url] in late September.
