Phytates & Oxalates; The Good, The Bad & The Kidney Stones
Episode 25
Friday, 17 May, 2024
Do you suffer from recurrent kidney stones or have unexplained mineral deficiencies? Phytates & Oxalates are in many of our plant foods and can bind to minerals, thus contributing to mineral deficiencies. However, it is worth understanding what they are, and when and if you need to be wary of them, rather than fearfully avoiding them altogether. These plants have amazing health benefits and actually phytates have some pretty important positives too. Listen in to this short episode to find out more. The store cupboard staple is a nut which is nutrient dense and contains BOTH phytates and oxalates!!
