so people will say Oh almonds are high in magnesium well you can't absorb that magnesium in order you know when you drink the milk because it's chelated by phytic acid
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

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.

I get a lot of magnesium from coconuts in the chronometer podcast I talked about the best animal sources of magnesium there's tons I get more than the RDA of magnesium a day from milk from orange juice from coconuts and bananas
almonds are a good source of magnesium to which I would argue how much of that magnesium are you going to absorb very little to none
almonds are high in magnesium well that magnesium is not very bioavailable because it's chelated by phytic acid
you can get plenty of magnesium in your foods I've done posts on social media about getting 400 plus milligrams of magnesium from an animal-based diet orange juice milk meat coconuts bananas all of these are good sources of magnesium you can refer to previous podcasts my social media posts if you want to see how I get enough magnesium you can easily get enough bioavailable magnesium from your Foods on a daily basis
magnesium may not be bioavailable in many plant foods like almonds or spinach or kale the phytic acid in there is not going to make that magnesium very bioavailable in fact the lowest levels of magnesium I've ever had were on a raw vegan diet which is supposed to have lots of magnesium and plant Foods it's never bioavailable so that's a whole separate conversation something I've talked about in the past with regard to phytic acid chelating all sorts of minerals selenium iron magnesium all the divalent cations calcium Etc
the magnesium in steak or orange juice or milk
milk is a great source forh squeezed orange juice meat is an amazing source of bioavailable magnesium heart and coconut water
magnesium I've done on this where do you get magnesium well you can get magnesium easily on an animal- based diet or in animal Foods it's bu bioavailable on an animal based diet sources of magnesium would be things like coconut water orange juice raw milk on a strict carnivore diet you will find that about one pound of meat has around 100 milligrams of magnesium that's very bioavailable
you can get plenty of magnesium in your Foods I've done posts on social media about getting 400 plus milligrams of magnesium from an animal- based diet orange juice milk meat coconuts bananas all of these are good sources of magnesium you can easily get enough bioavailable magnesium from your Foods on a daily basis and be aware that magnesium may not be bioavailable in many plant foods like almonds or spinach or kale the phytic acid in there is not going to make that magnesium very bioavailable
