Humans secrete phytase (and occasionally consume it), which is an enzyme responsible for the breakdown of phytic acid. Some animals, namely rats, have close to none of this enzyme.

Most “tests” are done on rats [and are not applicable to humans]. Phytic acid protects against the two biggest cancer killers in men and women
