DESCRIPTION: Women who consume the most high phytate foods (whole grains, beans, and nuts) appear to have better bone density.
Eating healthy can help us avoid other drugs as well. See, for example:
• Say No to Drugs by Saying Yes to More Plants (
• Whole Grains May Work As Well As Drugs (
• Statin Muscle Toxicity (

I have a bunch of other videos coming up about the surprising benefits of phytates—stay tuned!
