My daily breakfast included 1/2 bag of steamed spinach mixxed with my egg whites.
I figured the cooking process killed the bacteria but couldn't find any concrete evidence so I threw everything out :-\
Now, I see this article ::) http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/09/15/health/main2012579.shtml?source=RSSattr=HOME_2012579

Green leafy vegetables have little or no nutritive value, and are eaten as "eye food". In fact some, like celery and lettuce have less caloric value than it takes to process them through your system, like sand. Some, like spinach, contain a toxic blood poison, oxalic acid. This dangerous chemical is so high in rhubarb that the green leaves are capable of causing death. Why eat this rubbish?
I agree that there is only maybe 20 percent of the weight of "leafy greens" which is carbs, but why eat something so toxic and rough? Would you intentionally put a pinch of sand in the crankcase of your car? Older people suffer from malnutrition in spite of "excellent diets" due to the scar tissue in their intestines from a lifetime of exposure to roughage in their food. In the short term it causes the intestines to coat themselves with mucus, which also interferes with absorption of nutrients.
All plants have toxins, chemical defenses against herbivores are much older than the mechanical ones like the spines of cacti. People have struggled for hundreds of years to breed out most of these defenses, which is why you cannot grow them without pesticides.
If you doubt me, eat a cupful of wild lettuce (a very common weed), and see how long you can remain awake. It contains a glucoside, letucin, called "lettuce opium", which was bred out of the cultivated plant.

This isnt pretty, but there was a lot of talk on the radio today about how some of this may have happened...
gross but true-------many illegal immigrants (Mexico mainly) are working in these fields where the crops are grown------these people do not speak english and come from a primative lifestyle (no indoor plumbing, no sanitary conditions-------and many times when they have to use the bathroom, they do not use an outhouse, but rather do their bodily functions right in the fields where they work----right where the food is grown.
In fact, leaflets have been passed out with pictures of a person squatting in the fields taking a dump---and a big red "X" is drawn thru the picture-------while another picture has a picture of an outhouse with a green circle around it---meaning that is the correct thing to do.
Sad, but true !!! :P
