are legumes antinutrients
Paleo incorrect: legumes are not antinutrients. The Paleo Diet claims that beans and lentils should be excluded from the diet because they contain antinutrients. Phytic acid (reduces some micronutrient absorption) is just as high in nuts as they are in legumes, and yet nuts are not excluded from Paleo.Tannins are just as high in wine, and oxalates are just as high in spinach, but these are not excluded from Paleo.alk about your own diet and its merits. Yes...The problem with beans are the antinutrients you talk about. You can't really eat most beans raw. There are some that if you eat them raw, they can cause mild stomach discomfort and some, like Kidney beans, can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
