Fiber cant be broken down by human digestive enzymes because it contains a phytic acid (form of stored phosphorus. Phylates chelates (forms chemicals that form soluble complex molecules with certain metal ions, inactivating the ions so that they cannot normally react with other elements or ions). Basically fiber has phytic acid that bind with zinc, iron, calcium, and potassium prohibiting them from being absorbed

Does indigestion inhibit calorie absorption?

Oxalates can inhibit the absorption of what?
calcium
Do you need to take zinc with food for optimal absorption?
Yes, taking zinc with food can enhance its absorption in the body. This is because certain components in food, such as phytates and fiber, can bind to zinc and inhibit its absorption. By taking zinc with a meal, particularly one that contains protein, the body's ability to absorb zinc is improved. However, it is important to note that excessive intake of zinc can lead to toxicity, so it is essential to follow recommended daily allowances.
Does calcium cancel out iron absorption in the body?

What deficiency disease could be caused by dietary fiber?
