So, I have made a few comments on reddit and X saying that bread is an anti nutrient and just digesting it takes nutrients out of your body. A quick Google search proves I am right. YET! Whenever I comment about this, I am downvoted or criticised. Why do you think this is? (Not on this sub just in general)
My current theory is that people just don’t like hearing that bread is bad for you, even though it is. Its like it makes them angry hearing it. Maybe because they don’t want to change their diet and resent others telling them it’s unhealthy. It’s just strange. What do guys think? Why does saying bread is an anti-nutrient trigger a nerve in most people?
Bread is not an anti nutrient. It has anti nutrients.
It depends on the context of your comments. If you’re just prosthletizing to people who didn’t ask your opinion, then yes, you’ll come off like a dick. Anti nutrients are pretty nuanced. Yes, they exist, and most people should probably limit their intake, but too many people think “plants are trying to kill you” because of the existence of these toxins. Everything has some kind of toxic load. The question is how much and how can we decrease them.
