What is an Anti-nutrient? An Anti-nutrient is something that interferes with our body’s ability to absorb nutrition from our foods or stops our body from doing a process that would be required to absorb nutrition from our food.
Below are the 5 Deadly Anti-nutrients:
Solanine is found in eggplants, tomatoes and peppers and can cause joint pain and muscle inflammation. So if you have Arthritis or Fibromyalgia you may want to consider removing these vegetables from your diet.
The best option to reduce the solanine content, other than not eating food that contains it, is to grill these vegetables.
Chaconine is a toxic alkaloid substance found in corn. This substance can cause bloating, constipation, diarrhea, GERD, achy joints and brain fog. If you prefer not to cut out corn then the best way to lessen the amount of Chaconine is by steaming the corn.
Oxalates are found in spinach, kale, chard as well as other leafy greens. It is associated with joint pain, gut problems, kidney stones, kidney inflammation generalized body inflammation and can even cause problems with the thyroid.
