I have been working with a nutritionist over the last couple years to improve my health. Under her guidance, I replaced romaine lettuce with raw, darker green vegetables like kale, collard greens and broccoli. Can a person eat too many dark green vegetables?

A:

No, there is no reason to eat less dark green vegetables. They are rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber. They are also full of phytochemicals (disease- fighting compounds). They are also very low in calories. So eat up!
