An 88-year-old Chinese woman took the quest too far, consuming enough
raw bok choy to send herself into a life-threatening, thyroid-induced
coma, doctors say.

They didn't say if it worked. For her diabetes, that is.

Brassicas are poisonous. Just enough to ensure survival of the
species. Most animals avoid them because of their smell/taste
(that's the poison). Cooking them neutralizes them and usually
makes them makes them more preferable, poison or no poison.

I was looking at ANDI (Aggregate Nutrient Density Index) scores
the other day, and Bok Choy is ranked at no. 4 after collards
(etc.), kale, and watercress. My thought was one could not live
on such things. It does sound like this woman consumed too much
of this good thing!
