Some vitamins increase risk of lung cancer

[Guest guest]

Now it seems that science has taken a turn in the belief that some veggies are

not as good for us as previously thought.

According to the results of a study published in the American Journal of

Epidemiology, use of individual beta-carotene, retinol, or lutein supplements is

linked with an increased risk of lung cancer.

Many studies have suggested that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables may reduce

the risk of cancer. Although fruits and vegetables contain many potentially

beneficial compounds, researchers have speculated that at least some of the

benefits provided by these foods could be explained by the antioxidant nutrients

that they contain. These antioxidants include vitamin C, vitamin E, and the

carotenoids (such as beta carotene). More to the article at this web site.
