No, I didn't say they are all the same.
I said that the lettuces are close enough in most major nutrients that discounting iceberg as a valid nutrient source was a mistake. I said that the greens that are super dark and often super-packed with nutrients, are also usually so tough and fibrous that many of those nutrients are essentially inaccessible. I tried to get across the point that on 811rv there is just no reason to be concerned about nutrition, and that the people who should be concerned about nutrition are eating SAD. And even they are worrying about whether they are eating iceberg, romaine, or kale.

What is your reason for concern about magnesium and selenium? Are you experiencing deficiency symptoms?
