Ive been reading up a little bit on anti-nutrients in plants because ive been told that i should cut plants out of my diet completely due to them.

There is evidence that these antinutrients by themselves do negatively impact our health, one of the ways being they inhibit our ability to absorb nutrients. On health blogs and pop-science articles, they cite these papers and then conclude that people should avoid eating plants.

Meanwhile when i read actual scientific articles, they seem to say that although plants like wheat and beans have anti nutrients which have negative effects, the benefits gained from other aspects eating the plant (as well as small benefits from the antinutrients themselves) means that the benefits outweigh the positives.

And if eating plants was so horrible, wouldn't people/lineages who eat lots of plants be dead or have faced evolutionary dead-ends already?
What is the scientific consensus on this and what are your opinions? Please do cite peer-reviewed papers if you have them as i can get past the paywall.
