Episode: 209: Phytic Acid and Cancer Protection
Description: Sue Becker continues her deep dive into phytic acid, revealing how this powerful phytonutrient helps protect the colon by reducing oxidative damage, chelating excess iron, and preventing precancerous cell formation—especially through wheat bran from whole grains. She explains why not all fiber is the same and why whole-grain sources offer unique cancer-reducing benefits that go far beyond basic digestion. If you haven't already, be sure to also listen to last week's episode to hear how phytic acid protects against damage from excess free iron.
