When I was scrolling this morning I came across a video making “high protein” brownies made out of chickpeas. You can imagine my brow immediately raised 🤨

Why is everyone going wild for Chickpeas? Claiming they are high in protein!

Not in my opinion! 🚫

Do not be fooled into thinking chickpeas can replace animal protein for a good source of amino acids.

Chickpeas are high in Phytic Acid which blocks the absorption of essential minerals.

Phytic acid also inhibits the digestive enzymes called amylase, trypsin and pepsin.

Amylase breaks down starch, while trypsin & pepsin break down proteins into usable material.

Ruminant animals are not harmful to the environment. In fact, they are essential to a proper ecosystem!

If we decided to tell the truth about health and people could get off prescription drugs, that is what would really help the ecosystem as drug companies are one of the biggest polluting industries!
