is there any downside to getting too much of them? Yesterday, I

started taking a handful of fresh turnip greens with some water and

making a quick, *very* green drink.

For instance, raw eggs deplete biotin, etc. Any harm in over-green?

I went there to casually look up turnip greens. It's a shame they

don't have the data in a more useable form such as plain html tables.

That very large pdf is rather unwieldy, and the access db file

doesn't apply to me.
