We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.
if you are eating meat and organs and you are avoiding the foods that will rob you of magnesium these are the phytic acid and oxalate containing foods like beans nuts grains and seeds it's about how much magnesium you hold onto not about how much magnesium you get
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

you can see this with divalent cations with molecules that have a two plus charge if you are eating them in foods that have phytic acid like almonds or other seeds or you're eating them in plant foods with oxalates they are not absorbed they are not absorbed
the problem with plant sources of magnesium is that though that may be the raw amount of magnesium in those plants that is certainly not the amount of magnesium that you will absorb and the rdas don't really account for this they account for what you are taking in your body they're not going to account for the bioavailability i can tell you when i was a vegan i was eating tons of almonds and i had the lowest magnesium ever had in my life to the point that i had issues associated with low magnesium because almonds are a shitty source of magnesium because it's bound it's chelated it's in phytic acid and oxalates so divalent cations magnesium calcium zinc selenium these are very poorly bioavailable in nuts and seeds or beans don't anyone convince you that minerals are a good thing to get from nuts seeds and beans they're a horrible thing to get that's really way to a really bad way to get those things because they are very poorly bioavailable there's none that there's very little excuse me that it's going to get absorbed because of the phytic acid and the oxalates in those foods
magnesium is not very bioavailable in kale it's not very bioavailable in things like almonds because of oxalates which can also keate these minerals prevent their absorption and ftic acid in these plant Foods
