Risk Of Lymphoma Decreased With Vitamin C

Another Quick Hit from Dr. Ray Strand:

"I have always been a proponent of supplementing a healthy diet.  I recommend that you eat 6 to 10  servings of fruits and vegetables each and every day along with taking high-quality, complete and balanced supplements.  Well, a study reported by Mayo Clinic looked at over 35,000 Iowa women between the ages of 55 and 69.  The researchers looked at the health benefits of consuming additional antioxidant nutrients from fruits and vegetables.  Those with the higher intake of vitamin C had a 22% decrease risk in developing lymphoma.  They also noted that increase intake of alpha-carotene, proanthocyanidins (found in grape seed extract), and manganese were associated with a 29, 30, and 38% reduction in the incidence of lymphoma."
