Anti nutrients

[political atheist]

Interesting how Aajonus said that anti-nutrients can be neutralized with fats.. in eastern europe legumes, grains are always combined with butter or heavy cream or tallow or an oil or lard PLUS also a vitamin C source(tomato, bell pepper, onion) and or an acidic food item like fermented veggies

Vitamin C was demonstrated to neutralize anti nutrients... so these older generations knew how to prepare food to get the nutrition from all foods

The way I understand this with my very basic chemistry knowledge, is that most substances are either water soluble, or fat soluble. If they're water soluble, it's generally easier for our bodies to get rid of them. When they are fat soluble, they tend to stick around more, and it's generally accepted in the mainstream medical community, that fat soluble toxins tend to accumulate in fatty tissues.

AV's idea regarding combining starch with fats to remove toxins, was that they would combine to form a kind of internal soap, for loosening and safely carrying away toxins.
