Updates for February 2013

February 28, 2013. High Fiber Diet. Research on mice has found that a high fiber diet (believed to be due to the active ingredient inositol hexaphosphate, also known as IP6) can slow progression of prostate cancer in mice. See [US Too 3/2013 pg. 5] and [PMID: 23213071]. It is unknown whether this applies to humans. The American Cancer Society summarizes what is known [here]. A set of slides on high fiber foods is available on [WedMB].
