Vitamin B May Reduce Lung Cancer Risk

A quick-hit post from Dr. Ray Strand.  Wanted to get this out, as it has important info regarding a study of the B vitamins and your risk of lung cancer.

"There are have been several studies in regards to the use of nutritional supplementation and lung cancer.  Beta carotene was one of the most famous nutrients studied.  However, a recent study just released in the June 16, 2010 issue of the JAMA looked at vitamin B levels and the risk of lung cancer.  There results suggest that above average levels of B6 and methionine reduced the risk of developing lung cancer by 50%.  When you also looked at above normal levels of folate, another B vitamin, along with vitamin B6 and methionine, there was a reduction in lung cancer by nearly two-thirds."

"Again, supplementing your diet with high-quality, complete and balanced nutritional supplements including the B vitamins is an excellent choice."

To Your Health
