These are things such as iron, calcium, copper and zinc. Foods like spinach, which are high in calcium on paper, actually have those nutrients locked up and unavailable for absorption. 🚫 Cooking, sprouting and soaking certain foods can lessen the antinutrients in them, but they will never be zero. So should you avoid these foods? Well, that's up to you. There is argument that they can be positive stressors on the body, but consuming high amounts of almonds day in and out is going to do you more harm than good. 👎 Lectins (gluten is a type of lectin) especially are thought to play a big role in leaky gut and autoimmune disease. Lectins found in wheat are one of the biggest triggers for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
