From the Back Cover

The binding properties of phytates have caused them to be viewed traditionally as antinutrients. However, recent research suggests that phytates may actually reduce the risks of cancer and heart disease. Food Phytates takes a new look at phytates, including their potential health benefits. It includes 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. Numerous tables and figures provide up-to-date data, including the phytate content of various seeds, grains and food products.
