Quote:

Researchers also found a dietary ingredient called phytate, which is found in cold cereal, dark bread and beans, helped prevent kidney stones.

But I thought phytates were bad for you.

Phytates are phosphorus compounds found primarily in cereal grains, legumes, and nuts. They bind with minerals such as iron, calcium, and zinc and interfere with their absorption in the body.
