Wonderful collagen!

Yes, some celery in the broth... still getting everyone onboard with no-plants. The person who added the celery into the broth doesn't even like celery, they were just following a guide. Baby steps.

Phytic acid is one with a well known interaction with zinc: https://hero.epa.gov/reference/56527/

Paper itself can be found here: https://bvssan.incap.int/local/I/I-1025.pdf

As to whether it'll leech into soup, why risk it? It's a lot of work to make a good broth.

That paper is useless to me. I'm not a food scientists or medical nutritionist.

If its well known why aren't there regular sources to communicate the perks of this nocarb diet? Sources like mine. Meant for regular people who don't participate in the academics.

The diet/lifestyle itself is not well known nor mainstream.

What I meant to say is phytic acid's interaction with zinc is well understood. It's on Wikipedia:

Phytic acid and phytate have a strong binding affinity to the dietary minerals calcium, iron, and zinc, inhibiting their absorption in the small intestine.

Here's a chart from the paper I linked about zinc absorption:

The chart describes the change in the amount of zinc in the blood of the subjects of the study, after they eat some oysters.

After eating 120g of oysters and nothing else, it peaks at ~150 ug/dl in 3 hours. If the oysters are eaten with black beans, it peaks at ~40 ug/dl, and if the oysters are eaten with tortillas it barely goes up above 0 at all!

It's not well known, that is exactly why this community exists.
