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?

    My Google search says: Antinutrients are natural or synthetic compounds that interfere with the absorption of nutrients.

    So it says that it limits the absorption of new nutrients in your body, but it doesn’t take anything that’s already absorbed out. And doesn’t prevent all absorption.

    Maybe you are exaggerating the effect?
