Hello, this is my first topic. Sorry for spelling mistakes, I'm not really fluent as a french. :)
I would like to know if someone has sourced informations about phytic acid. We know that this antinutrient is found mainly in grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, some tubers too.
Destroying it completely is really hard, it requires days and days of sprouting or fermenting generally.
Anyway, does phytic acid of a food interferes with the other foods of a meal ?
For example, if I eat oats (phytic acid) with dairy, beans (phytic acid) with beef or let's say peanuts (phytic acid) with clams, will I assimilate all the minerals from the animal products, or their bioavailability will decline because of the phytic acid presence ?
I searched for a long time about this topic and the only science-based information that I have is about oysters. Feed people oysters alone and they will have a spike in zinc in their blood, as we would expect.
But give the same quantity of oysters with beans or tortillas (corn)... and the zinc assimilation of oyster drops dramatically, oysters become almost useless in these two situations !

Yes haha it's very disappoiting. If you have similar knowledges on the subjects, whether they are positive of negative, I'll be glad to be aware about it.
Thanks for reading me and have a nice day. :)
