Ravi,
If indeed you want to avoid any amount of all those things, you are right. But then you would also have to avoid all fruit and vegetable foods as they all have anti-nutrients, especially in the seeds, to protect the seeds from birds. Consider that many leafy green veggies have oxalic acid or other anti-nutrients that block mineral absorption, especially when eaten raw. And you’d have to avoid animal products, too, as they also have anti-nutrients. We’d have to give up food altogether…and then where would we be?

We must consider that we are only scraping the surface of what can be known about the nutrients, anti-nuturients, and energy of living foods.

I think the better approach is moderation in all things, and to do the best you can to ensure the food you do eat is prepared in the most healthful way it can be.

Sourdough breads do have many wonderful health-promoting qualities, including vitamins, enzymes and probiotics – yes, I do believe these survive the baking process, especially in the interior of the loaf. But these things are lost in unfermented grain breads.

… trouble is, there is no data available showing how long and with which cultures you must sour the grains to rid them of all the gluten, wga, anti-nutrients, phytic acid, and so on.

a better choice is simply to not eat bread – radical i know…..
