Basically they actually block you from absorbing the nutrients you need from a food!

And I really wanted to get into quinoa/buckwheat/millet but now I'll always be worried whether I'm ingesting antinutrients.

It's like what the hell, now I gotta worry about this in addition to everything else?

Sounds like if they're cooked it gets rid of the anti-nutrients.

Another reason why the raw food trend is really dumb

Lets only eat food in its least nutrionally bioavailable form! Im being healthy!

Seems like it's nothing to worry about. Who would eat brown rice raw?

People jumping on raw food fad diets. There's a huge problem building where people aren't feeding themselves properly because of this.

Yeah you cook all those things before you eat them

Yeah but even if you cook them or boil them, you'll always be worried about trace amounts of antinutrients still being left over.

Who's "you'll"?

I certainly won't. Speak for yourself, not others.

And it's a shame too because I was really looking forward to substituting my rice heavy lifestyle with quinoa instead.

Adding some beans like red, white or black beans would have been nifty as well.

better watch out because rice is full of arsenic

Don't regularly eat raw quinoa or beans and you're fine

anti-nutrients? not gonna read any of that, but just sounds like some BS made up word to describe compounds that may hold a potential agonist/antagonist receptor or protein-binding reaction with other compounds. I mean, duh, some shit can lock up other shit and/or also enhance or reduce availability of other ingested compounds

It's almost as if yin/yang isn't just new age concept and is actually a property of life.

there is 100% nothing stopping you from doing that.

Been eating a lot of buckwheat, and my urine smells like it, worried that it has something to do with this.
