In this podcast, Dr. Berg talks about phytase anti-nutrient myths. Phytic acid is a very powerful antioxidant. Consuming food that has too much phytic acid will block the absorption the zinc, iron, and other minerals.
1. Microbes make phytase – the enzyme that breaks down phytic acid.
2. Vitamin C increase the absorption of iron
3. Beta carotene increase absorption of iron
4. Adding meat increase the absorption of iron
5. Cooking/Steaming decrease phytic acid
6. Fermenting vegetables decrease phytic acid
7. Most people have too much iron
Adding meat to vegetables/nuts/seeds can increase the absorption of iron
Betacarotene from vegetables can increase the absorption of iron
Vit. C and certain amino acids reduce phytic acid and increase iron absorption
