Frequently Asked Questions

Does Cereals, corn grits, yellow, regular, quick, enriched, cooked with water, with salt contain anti-nutrients?
Oxalates (spinach, beet greens, Swiss chard โ€” bind calcium). Goitrogens (raw cruciferous โ€” broccoli, kale, cabbage โ€” can impair thyroid iodine uptake). Cooking cruciferous vegetables deactivates goitrogens. Pair high-oxalate greens with calcium-rich foods (they bind in gut, not kidneys). Avoid green potatoes. Only a concern with very high raw intake + iodine deficiency (for goitrogens) or kidney stone history (for oxalates).
