The short answer

Adds vitamin K, magnesium, potassium, folate, and colorful stems and leaves.

Evidence and scope
Food context; study findings do not grade the whole food.
Important limitation
Leafy-green intake is studied in cohorts and feeding studies, but observational associations do not prove that one particular green prevents disease.
Before deciding
No single food has been shown to extend human lifespan; the overall dietary pattern and what this food replaces matter.

02 / RESEARCH

Research screening result

The current baseline stays visually separate from credible findings that are mechanistic, responder-dependent, small, or not yet replicated.

Established / currently defensibleLeafy-green intake is studied in cohorts and feeding studies, but observational associations do not prove that one particular green prevents disease.

The general interpretation that does not depend on one unreplicated positive result. An established limitation is as important as an established benefit.
