Scientific research suggests that beans may help to prevent certain types of cancer, including:

Pancreatic cancer
Colon cancer
Breast Cancer
Prostate Cancer

Beans contain both lignins and phytates, which seem to be the major contributors to the cancer fighting effects of this SuperFood. Lignins are phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are estrogen-like compounds that have been linked to a reduction in risk of developing breast cancer. Phytates are compounds that have been shown to reduce the risk of certain types of intestinal cancer.
