Phytic acid is a naturally forming component found in plant fiber in a wide range of plant foods, including wheat bran, whole grain, and legumes. Nuts and seeds also contain phytic acid, but in smaller amounts compared to bran and grains.
In this review of the research on the effects of fiber intake on man Kelsay found:
(a) Some reports indicate that fiber in the diet may lower serum levels of calcium and iron
(b) Energy, fat, nitrogen, and mineral absorption appear to be decreased by increased fiber intake.
To conclude: Increased dietary fiber intake decreases the availability of nutrients for the body.
