on Anti-Nutrient Myths: Lectins, Oxalates, Phytoestrogens & More

The Consistency Project

We’re exploring the science behind anti-nutrients, their roles in nutrition, and whether they are harmful or beneficial.

We discuss compounds such as lectins, oxalates, phytates, goitrogens, and phytoestrogens and examine their misconceptions.

We clarify how these substances interact with our bodies, the impact of cooking methods, and the relevance of current scientific research in dispelling fear-based nutrition myths.
