Abstract
Western lifestyle is associated with increasing prevalence of IBD, processed food being a likely cause. We have shown that ferric EDTA, used for iron fortification, but not other iron agents aggravate gut inflammation and colitis-associated cancer (CAC) in mice. We extend our observations to other EDTA compounds, which are used in the food industry as stabilizing agents.
