That would explain why I seem to digest oats without any problem! I can have big portions of it and feel fine. Wheat products on the other hand (bread and pasta), I have to be careful because it constipate me, and too big a portion will make me feel sleepy/slow digestion.
Thanks for the info!
Holy molly! That's a scary chart! Another thing I didn't know.
My aunt once told me we need to soak almonds overnight in order to be able to eat them, otherwise they are toxic. Is that related to the oxalate or something else? I'm going to ask chat GPT...
Here is the answer:
Soaking almonds overnight can potentially reduce their oxalate content, as well as other antinutrients like phytic acid. However, the extent of this reduction may vary, and it's not guaranteed to eliminate all oxalates. While soaking can make almonds more digestible and improve nutrient absorption, it's essential to remember that they will still contain some level of oxalates even after soaking. Therefore, individuals who need to limit oxalate intake should continue to consume almonds in moderation, even if they have been soaked overnight.
I think it was for phytic acid if my memory is good.
Guys, I'm a cereal addict for breakfast and I can't have dairy anymore :( Soy milk is questionable, almond milk is toxic, and anyways they add
Calcium Carbonate in those drinks which is
contaminated with Lead.
What's left as a milk alternative? Homemade Oat milk?
Since everything is contaminated anyway, I might as well have my cereals with water
What do you have for breakfast? Maybe I could change my cereal habit.
Sorry this discussion is diverging from the original topic, but thanks for all this info :)
