Research shows that higher urinary oxalate levels increase risk for kidney stones more than higher levels of urinary calcium. Only eight foods definitely raise urinary oxalate values: spinach, tea, nuts including peanuts, chocolate, beets (the leaves and roots), rhubarb, strawberries and wheat bran. Even prolonged restriction of these foods is not advocated unless urinalysis shows that limiting them definitely helps.

No, buy fresh locally grown spinach if you can and rinse under water.
I do not know that is false for a fact but I am pretty positive that is not true. I have kidney stones and have passed a few; lets just say they KILL. haha, but when I go to my nephrologist and kidney doctors they made it pretty clear that salt and calcium are the main causes of any build-up of artifacts in the kidneys. Citrus is the main preventative. Nothing about spinach has ever been mentioned to me
Yes, diets rich in oxalate- rich dark vegetables can increase the risk. But so can proteins, grapefruit juice, taking overdoses of Vitamin C and D. and diets rich in salt. But the main culprit is not drinking enough water.
You can reduce the risk by taking recommended amounts of calcium, and drinking 8 – 10 glasses of water per day.
