To be honest with you, I don't have much to say on the topic of phytates.

However, anecdotally, I went vegan after suffering from digestive issues for years, and the diet combined with a healthy amount of fermented foods has made a night-and-day improvement to my digestive health.

And anecdotally I went full carnivore after suffering from IBS, and my digestion and mental health improved immesurably. Any kind of pulse, grain or seed noticeable worsens my IBS and digestion. YMMV.

I think it's worth getting to the bottom of, without anecdotes. Meat consumption in the modern day is not only an ethical concern, but a major environmental concern as well.
