The binding properties of phytates have caused them to be viewed traditionally as anti nutrients. However, research suggests that phytates may actually reduce the risks of cancer and heart disease. This book describes the potential health benefits of phytates.

Food Phytates takes a new look at phytates, including their potential health benefits. It includes the latest information on the beneficial heath effects of phytates, the influence of phytates in disease prevention, the potential use of phytate as an antioxidant in foods, and phytase expression in transgenic plants. In 14 chapters, leading researchers shed new light on phytates' potential ability to lower blood glucose, reduce cholesterol and triacylglycerols, and reduce the risks of cancer and heart disease.
