Vitamin E and Lung Cancer
Preventionby News Canada
(NC)-Lung cancer, the most
preventative of all human cancers, remains the leading cause
of cancer death for both men and
women. Several studies have shown that
vitamin E supplementation is associated with a
lower risk of developing lung cancer in
non-smokers. Unfortunately, the same benefit was not seen in
smokers. The most effective
health action for smokers is still to stop
smoking.
It is believed that the beneficial effect of
vitamin E is a consequence of its antioxidant role,
which may be enhanced when taken in combination with
other antioxidants such as vitamin C,
beta-carotene and selenium. All of these nutrients are
available in a quality multivitamin such as Centrum®, available
in your local pharmacy. For more information on
supplementation, visit www.centrumvitamins.ca.
