I removed some commentary from the article. Here it is in context - commentary is in brackets, as done by the person who added it:
Typical of leaf vegetables, Malabar spinach is high in
soluble fiber, thought to remove mucus and toxins from the body [For most of us, our bodies naturally produce and remove mucus as needed; mucus is a good and a natural thing. For most of us, our livers remove toxins. Ever notice how all these "alternative" "medicines" and foods are said to remove toxins, but which toxins are never stated?]. Among many other possibilities, Malabar spinach may be used to thicken soups or stir-fries with garlic and chili peppers
While the article's not the best place for it, the commenter did have a point--the "removing mucus and toxins" reads more like a fad-diet blurb than an encyclopaedia. I've removed that bit--the link to the dietary fibre article has more details on the health benefits (which don't seem to include removing mucus or toxins).

Seems strange that Czech Republic is listed here.... being that all other places are tropical, its a tropical vine. CZ is temperate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.193.25 (talk) 01:28, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The plant has naturalized in the sub tropics, I wouldn't think far of it that it also naturalized in CZ...Nick12506 (talk) 05:37, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
