The ‘nutrient taker’ found in some “healthy” foods which can cause digestive problems, block mineral absorption, including calcium, and may lead to “leaky gut” syndrome, chronic fatigue, or even gluten intolerance is called = Phytic Acid. This compound is found in some veggies, grains, seeds, and nuts. The best way to minimize your absorption is to SOAK your grains and nuts and slightly sauté your veggies. When shopping, you can find sprouted bread products usually in the freezer section such as http://www.foodforlife.com/our-products/sprouted-grain As well as, look for RAW, soaked nuts to purchase, like Dallas local provider http://www.natesrawharvest.com It may take a bit more time and maybe a bit more money but in the end, it will save you some phytic acid.
