Eating beans affects the absorption of minerals, so should we eat less?

Some people point out that soybeans are rich in phytic acid, which will form insoluble phytates with calcium and zinc in the duodenum, affecting the absorption of these minerals. In fact, phytic acid is widely present in whole grains. For example, the phytic acid content of brown rice and corn is higher than that of soybeans. For these grains, soaking or warm water soaking, high-pressure steaming and other methods during our cooking process can effectively reduce their phytic acid content. We don't have to stop eating because of fear.
