[quote=Anonymous]There is an argument to be made here about whole grains and phytic acid. Phytic acid is mostly in the bran layer of grains and legumes. It is often called an anti nutrient, as it bonds with critical minerals in the body, like calcium, vit D, and phosphorus, and removes those minerals from the body. Soaking the grains helps reduce phytic acid. And not eating the bran (IE, eating white rice and white bread as opposed to whole grains) is better in this regard. http://www.westonaprice.org/food-features/living-with-phytic-acid Also, brown rice is apparently high in arsenic, which could be a concern for anyone who eats that as a dietary staple. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2012/11/arsenic-in-your-food/index.htm [/quote]
