Scientists Have Found Steroids in Spinach!
Scientists in Germany have found a chemical in SPINACH that's close to steroids. They say it's so effective that spinach should be a BANNED substance for athletes.
The chemical is called ecdysterone.
The scientists ran a test where some athletes ate almost NINE pounds of spinach a day and some didn't . . . and the ones who ate the spinach increased their strength up to three times more.
The World Anti-Doping Authority says it's planning to look more into spinach based on the results of this study
