From Jean-Louis Gassée‘s The Apple Licensing Myth at Monday Note:
[...] like spinach being good for you because it held the iron your red cells needed. After decades of the disgusting veggie inflicted upon young kids – I remember, a scientist went back to the bench and found out there was no digestible iron whatsoever in spinach. You don’t get calcium by ingesting chalk, you need a calcium compound that’ll get through the sophisticated filters in the digestive system. Eating spinach gives you as much digestible iron as sucking nails.
It’s the little things that make it all worthwhile. Seriously now, the article is a really good read as a whole.
