In this video, we’re going to talk about why eating nuts can deplete zinc.
I’ve talked a lot about why the anti-nutrient phytic acid in grains can deplete zinc. But did you know that nuts also contain phytic acid?
Anti-nutrient phytic acid binds to zinc, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, chromium, copper, and manganese. It also inhibits pepsin, amylase, and trypsin.
Based on a 100g serving of nuts, here is how much phytic acid is in each type of nut: • Brazil nuts: 1719mg • Almonds: 1400mg • Walnuts: 982mg • Peanuts: 952mg • Hazelnuts: 648mg
You can reduce phytic acid by... • Lowering your intake of phytic acid-rich foods (like grains and nuts) • Support your microbiome • Germinate your nuts • Boil or pressure cook your nuts • Eat nuts after your meal, not with it • Include high-zinc foods in your diet
