Guest guest Posted March 4, 2002 Report Share Posted March 4, 2002 I am not convinced that phytates cannot be broken down in our digestive tracks. Many animals live on mostly grains, and while some of them have multiple stomachs for fermenting plant food, others, such as birds, don't. Bacteria that we (or maybe only other animals?) have are said to be able and responsible for breaking down the phytates.
