Leaves are the solar panels of plants. This means that they are as full of defense chemicals (oxalates etc...) as they are of "useful" nutrients.
Most actual lettuce (Lactuca spp) seems to be bred for minimal defense chemicals and maximal structured water, so that's not too bad.

Consisting of 90% leaves of the cabbage family (Brassica spp). A family of vegetables that was traditionally only eaten when fermented. For good reason!
