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
