Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 " At this time, it is hard to say how each nutrient or nutrient combination affects a person’s risk of cancer. Studies of large groups of people have shown that those whose diets are high in vegetables and low in animal fat, meat, and/or calories have lower risks for some of the most common types of cancer. However, until more is known about this, the American Cancer Society recommends eating a variety of healthful foods—with most of them coming from plant sources—rather than relying on supplements. While it is best to get vitamins and minerals from foods, supplements may be helpful for some people, such as pregnant women, women of childbearing age, and people with restricted food intakes. If a supplement is taken, the best choice for most people is a balanced multivitamin/mineral supplement that contains no more than 100% of the " Daily Value " of most nutrients. " This is but a small part of the article and I would urge you to read the entire article, as it covers other vitamins and minerals. This is from the American Cancer Society quoted from an article entitled " Arthomolecular Medicine " http://www.cancer.org/docroot/ETO/content/ETO_5_3X_Orthomolecular_Medicine.asp?s\ itearea=ETO Last revised 11/01/08 FYI, Lottie Duthu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
