So many of us think that were having a nice healthy salad or meal and slice of "healthy" Whole grain bread and or some beans in with our salad or as a side. Both have their benefits and certain nutrients that are great for us. But did you know that they can inhibit your stomach from absorbing the other good nutrients in that salad/main course? Phytates (phytic acid) in whole grains, seeds, legumes, some nuts—can decrease the absorption of iron, zinc, magnesium, and calcium. [2,3] Saponins in legumes, whole grains—can interfere with normal nutrient absorption. Read up on this research document in discussion of Phylates and the Phylate effect.

I first heard about this in 2014 and it made sense, "Why was my body acting like I was starving for nutrients after what I perceived as a healthy meal?" I saw the effects change as I experimented with the amounts or changing times I would eat those foods. I don't think people need to avoid them, but rather just be aware and modify the amounts or the time frame you consume them vs your other good greens and protein etc.
