BLACKLISTED nutrient helps COMBAT cancer
There’s a cancer-fighting nutrient that’s been ACCUSED of being NO GOOD…
And even of doing DAMAGE to your nutritional health.
But it turns out… scientists just DIDN’T UNDERSTAND exactly how it worked.
And for too long, they OVERLOOKED how this misunderstood nutrient could actually BENEFIT your health…
Especially if you’re in the crosshairs for cancer.
I’m talking about cancers of the…
- colon
- prostate
- cervix
- liver
- skin
- blood (including leukemia)
- pancreas
- brain (including glioblastoma)
- and more.
Friend, I’ve got great news – because this nutrient is coming OFF the “blacklist”!
And hopefully, that means it’s finally getting the attention it deserves… especially when it comes to its role in cancer care.
You may have heard that you should STAY AWAY from phytic acid…
And it’s true that this plant compound can INTERFERE with your body’s ability to absorb certain nutrients… especially certain minerals.
That’s why it’s gotten the reputation as an “anti-nutrient”!
But just like most things in life, the story with phytic acid isn’t black and white.
Because it’s actually found in many incredibly nutritious foods… like seeds, nuts, and legumes.
And on its own, it offers MANY health benefits… not the least of which has to do with cancer.
A powerful antioxidant, phytic acid could be at least one of the reasons why whole grains may help lower the risk of colon cancer.
That could be why only CERTAIN types of high-fiber diets beat back colon cancer risk.
It’s the ones rich in phytic acid!
In a 2019 animal study, Brazilian researchers found that phytic acid helped not only BEAT BACK oxidative stress… but also DECREASED intestinal lesions, which could be a precursor to cancer.
Studies conducted over the course of the last 25 years or so have found that phytic acid can help fight cancer in MULTIPLE ways, including…
- SLOWING or even STOPPING cancer cell growth and reproduction
- TRIGGERING apoptosis (or “cell suicide” in cancer cells)
- REPROGRAMMING cancer stem cells by forcing them to differentiate
- INHIBITING blood vessel formation in tumors (a.k.a. angiogenesis), and
- SABOTAGING tumor growth.
Now, phytic acid on its own isn’t a cancer drug… and it shouldn’t replace the cancer care recommended by your doc (ideally an integrative oncologist).
But it could be one tool among many to help improve your odds.
That’s not all…
Because in one study on real-life breast cancer patients, consuming phytic acids helped reduce chemotherapy side effects… and even helped improve the participants’ quality of life.
Research shows that those who are MOST susceptible to nutritional deficiencies linked to phytic acid consumption are vegetarians and vegans… and others who consume chronically IMBALANCED diets.
So, eat your meat along with your grains, nuts, and seeds.
Phytic acid is also known as inositol hexaphosphate, or IP6 – and it’s available in capsule form from many quality supplement makers.
But since BALANCE is key here… you’ll want to make sure you consult with your doc (or perhaps even a cancer nutritionist) before trying this one out.
