Raw Spinach - More harm than good?

Recently I read that Spinach is considered to be in the family of goitrogenic foods and I've been wondering about about thyroid issues. I like to use tons of spinach in my green smoothies - should I discontinue? Also, I read that raw spinach inhibits calcium absorption.... ugh, I really hate to cut out another food! Any thoughts on this?

    Thanks - Yeah I'm thinking I will do that. Kale is a goitrogen too. Any ideas for nice greens for smoothies other than spinach or kale? I guess I could do some lettuces?
