9. Oxalate / oxalic acid molecules unfortunately will bind (form insoluble complexes) with minerals (like zinc & magnesium) in the human digestive tract. They're found in many legumes, grains & leafy vegetables, They're found in large amounts in foods/beverages like:
Ovaltine, chocolate milk, chocolate, cocoa, beer (lager draft, Tuborg, Pilsner), tea (black, Indian), Bigelow herbal teas, peanuts, pecans, canned garbanzo beans, peanut butter, Fig Newtons, fruitcake, marmalade, spinach, chard, sorrel, pigweed, parsley, beet greens, rhubarb & unfermented soy products.

CI is found in:

12. Legumes' protease inhibitors can be rendered harmless, depending on the type of legume, by sprouting/germinating, fermenting, or cooking. Which of these legumes (because of their protease inhibitors), if not properly & thoroughly sprouted/germinated, fermented, or cooked, can be quite harmful when eaten completely raw:
