2022-10-03, Monday - Energy 10-12% / Sleep 70% / Feeling 80%-ish
Learnt:
Phytic acid (phosphorus) is an ester of myo-inositol (sleep)!
So sprouts should be good for phosphorus AND myo-inositol!? But how come phosphorus isn’t that high in them?
Soaking pumpkin seeds & almonds (18h) seems a solution?
ToDo: 
Try soaking.

Dentist again on 20th after treatment on 6th brought energy down for 8+ days… Pain down in a few hours this time (but only due to strict rest), however energy again down to 5-10% for over 2 weeks, probably due to the phosphate deficiency too.
Chinese Acupuncturist - #29 on 10th, after 14 days Still good - would be 20-25% energy if it weren’t for the tooth treatments. Session #30 on 7th.

Development
‘Research’ today:
Inositol = in German Inosit.
Myo-inositol (now for sleep) = Used to be called B8. Most common form. But the body can make it from glucose. Can be made by hydrolyzing phytic acid. Can help prediabetes, improves insulin (wp). Inflluences blood sugar, serotonin, dopamine. Also in nuts and beans.
It might help breast cancer (a bit, tiny study), like phytic acid, IP6 - the phosphor sort that I thought was sposed to be bad… !
Yes, that does reduce some minerals, but only with an unhealthy diet. What helps convert phytic acid to inositol even outside the body is fermenting as sourdough or sprouting.
Phytic acid is the six-fold dihydrogenphosphate ester of myo-inositol.
If sprouts are that nutritious, I spose I should be eating more. But how come then that the phosphorus content isn’t that high? Wheat sprouts most with 200mg according to fitaudit.
This German site explains that phytic acid is actually good, just not too much of it. It’s paleo diet people who are most in worry, whilst it’s vegans and vegetarians who have the most problems with it.
Of the foods I eat a lot of, phytic acid is high in pumpkin seeds (4.3g/100g), almonds 3.2g, beans 2.4g and oats 1.2g. For these if I don’t want to sprout them, I can water them and put the water away. 300mg a day is OK, but I eat much more than 7g of pumpkin seeds or 9g of almonds a day. (gesund-vital.de). This sounds like much more phytic acid than direct phosphorus, e.g. 1.23g in pumpkin seeds.
Sourdough can decrease phytic acid by 80%. Highest in nuts (2-3%), then beans & oats (1%), veg & fruit much less. infothek-gesundheit.de Just I don’t tolerate its acidity.
gesund-aktiv.com suggests watering isn’t bad, however only nec. if any of these are eaten in larger amounts.
The German DGE calls phytic acid phytate and also recommends watering, they see its problem in regard to the amount of zinc taken up, which isn’t my problem.
Healthline says the phytic acid content of almonds and walnuts varies greatly: 0.4-9.4% and 0.2–6.7%! But of hazelnuts only 0.2–0.9%, beans 0.6–2.4%, tofu 0.1–2.9%. Their workaround is to keep it away from other meals, like preferably snacks in between. Soaking over night. Cooking legumes for 1 hour (2018 study). Another study said something about adding NaCl, but not sure about that.
Marksdailyapple (Keto) suggests vitamin C reduces it binding iron. Also that the gut does adapt to the phytate load. Cashews 0.19-4.98%. Kidney beans 0.61-2.38%. Nut from nut milks are often soaked, sprouted and heated and phytase enzyme added, read that quite often now.
Ramiel Nagel on Westonaprice apparently had bad experiences with phytic acid in his family and explains the binding capability of phytic acid as due to its ‘arms’. 400-800mg/d is fine. Not sure how much soaking reduces the phytate. Explains how to combine the various methods, but fermentation is best, and just soaking may not reduce that much, so some type of heat helps - very in depth on that. Also repeats the vit. C for iron.
