Wheat is high in phytic acid which binds to iron, zinc, calcium, and magnesium in your intestinal tract and keeps your body from absorbing all of these minerals. However, whole wheat is also high in the enzyme phytase that breaks down phytic acid. If you are using fresh milled whole wheat, phytic acid should not be a big concern.

What is inositol?
Inositol, also known as phytic acid, is a phytochemical found in bran from corn, oats, rice, rye and wheat, nuts, soybeans and soy products (tofu, soy milk, edamame, etc.). It may retard cancer cell growth and work as an antioxidant. However, non-ruminant animals can't access the inositol in these seeds unless they are germinated. The phytic acid in ungerminated seeds chelates and thus makes unabsorbable certain important minor minerals such as zinc and iron, and to a lesser extent, also macro minerals such as calcium and magnesium.
