Phytic acid is apparently not le bad, might actually be le good

This is translating from Russian, but is reasonably ok to read:

-
"Phytates are not a health concern for those who eat a varied and balanced diet. However, for those on a poor, monotonous diet, high levels of phytates increase the risk of mineral deficiencies, which is why various techniques are used to reduce phytate levels in food."
I guess the question is, why would someone take to a variation of a "a poor, monotonous diet". And could that include some interpretations of advisories found around bioenergetics.
