He's very logical and when I told him about what I had been researching, he said he wanted "real" info...not some lady's blog orngtongue.gif

 

So, can anyone help?

Why does he need to be convinced? What is your aim here? Does he do the cooking?

Not like soaking them is going to cause harm...

He doesn't think they're going to cause harm and he doesn't do the cooking.  He just wants "evidence".  I told him I would ask on here, so I'm hoping someone can help

Is this what you found on wikipedia?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytic_acid#Food_science

 

I hope that was enough for him, I don't like to rely on wikipedia but it's hard to find much on phytic acid outside of food blogs!

Yup, that's what I found.  I don't like Wiki either, but like you said, there isn't much else.  Thanks for your reply :)

I have run into stuff here and there, but I think most of the articles were in relation to a specific nutrient and deficiencies caused by excessive intake of phytic acid. In fact, I believe I was just reading article on the NIH website regarding zinc deficiency and phytic acid. Here's some:

 

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12716674

 

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19399930

 

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12197999

 

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18357620

 

 

HTH!
