Grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds contain a substance called phytates that keep us from absorbing all of the minerals from our food.

Because of phytates, you are missing out on about half of the minerals your food could be providing if you prepared it a bit differently.

• Double your absorption of iron in foods you are already eating.

And get more of the other essential minerals while are you are at it:

• Fight osteoporosis. Unlock the calcium in your food.
• Fight depression by increasing your magnesium, zinc, iron, and calcium.
• Improve your long-term health.

The Phytate Fighting System is really simple.

And as far as I’m concerned, since we have to eat anyway, we might as well make it count.

This series includes tips for you even if you don’t really cook:

• How to select breads from the supermarket
• How to bolster your breakfast porridge
• How to put your coffee grinder to work for your health

And there are many tips for home bakers and cooks:

• How to improve any yeast bread recipe to unlock the minerals
• How to leverage sourdough techniques in any situation
• Why and how you should soak your beans
• Why you need your own grain mill

I also discuss some health-phytate issues such as:

• How much do phytates inhibit my absorption of minerals?
• Are there long-term health effects of phytates?
• Do phytates fight cancer?

Who I Am

I have a book forthcoming in the summer of 2007, Rebuild from Depression in Motherhood. I identify nutrients that are most associated with depression in the medical literature. If we are deficient in zinc, for instance, we are likely to be depressed.

To shore up our zinc may require supplementation – the book discusses how to test if you are low in zinc, body signs of low zinc, and the best form of supplementation. But for the long term, we need to improve our dietary zinc. Reducing phytates in foods is one strategy for increasing our digestion of zinc, iron, magnesium, and calcium, all of which can cause depression.

But regardless of whether you suffer from depression (my primary call to action), you might as well get what you can out of your food.

Why a free course on phytates?

I’ve done extensive reading on phytates for my book and yet the book contains only a few pages of information on the topic. As I have added information to my website, I get many questions about phytates.

I realize why I am getting these questions: there are really no internet sources available that give extensive information on phytates and the academic journal articles are not readily available to the public. And people want to improve the quality of their food to ensure long-term health. That’s a great cause I can contribute to.

So this e-course is where I can direct people for more information. We can all benefit. I add entries as I find new information. In the future this may turn into an e-book or print book. But today it’s free. Enjoy.
