Phytates for the Treatment of Cancer
Do the anticancer effects of phytates in a petri dish translate out into clinical studies on cancer prevention and treatment?

A diferencia de otros agentes anti-cancerosos, los fitatos que se dan de forma natural en alimentos integrales de origen vegetal pueden activar la diferenciación de las células cancerosas, haciendo que su comportamiento se revierta a aquel de las células normales.
Phytic acid (phytate), concentrated in food such as beans, whole grains, and nuts, may help explain lower cancer rates among plant-based populations.
The consumption of phosphorus preservatives in junk food, and injected into meat, may damage blood vessels, accelerate the aging process, and contribute to osteoporosis.
The whole grain phytonutrient phytic acid (phytate) partially inhibits mineral absorption, but has a wide range of health-promoting properties, such as anticancer activity. By concurrently eating mineral absorption enhancers, such as garlic and onions, one can get the best of both worlds by improving the bioavailability of iron and zinc in plant foods.
