Frequently Asked Questions

Does ON THE BORDER, Mexican rice affect hormones?
Yes — ON THE BORDER, Mexican rice is rich in selenium (13% DV), which Required for T4→T3 conversion (deiodinase enzyme). Selenoproteins protect Leydig cells from oxidative damage.. selenium supports T3 (active thyroid) and Testosterone production.
Does ON THE BORDER, Mexican rice contain anti-nutrients?
Phytates (especially in whole grains — bind zinc, iron, calcium). Lectins (wheat germ agglutinin — reduced by cooking). Sourdough fermentation reduces phytates 70-90%. Soaking + cooking helps. Yeast fermentation (bread) partially breaks down phytates. Whole grains have more nutrients but also more phytates — the net effect is still positive.
