VITAMIN C and E is said to not work lower the risk of prostate cancer. Thus two large studies that took place in the United States concluded.
Although still mention that the consumption of these supplements are beneficial, give positive effects to health, two studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association involving 35 533 men and 15 000 of these doctors are not able to prove that these supplements reduce the risk of cancer.
Numerous studies suggest that consumption of vitamins can reduce the risk of certain cancers by enhancing the benefits of antioxidants that work to minimize tissue damage. However, mixed results.
Recent research designed to obtain definitive results by involving volunteers in large quantities. In the first study, scientists from the University of Texas and the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, gives men the mineral selenium, vitamin E or a placebo pill.
This team intends to monitor all the participants of this man for more than seven years but the study stopped early because the results were so disappointing. Scientists have found that there was no significant difference in the number of men suffering from prostate cancer in four groups.
In all cases, the proportion of men diagnosed with prostate cancer over a period of more than five years to reach 4 to 5 percent.
In a second study, scientists in Boston, Brigham and Women’s Hospital tried to test the effect of vitamin E and C supplementation on a regular basis in patients with cancer among 14 641 male physicians.
For more than eight years, the consumption of vitamin E is said to not give a good effect for prostate cancer or cancer in general. Vitamin C is even said to not give effect significantly.
Dr. Jodie Moffat, a cancer researcher in the UK revealed, “There is much research to find out whether vitamin and mineral supplementation can reduce cancer rumor. But most of the research, such as this one, did not give evidence.”
Supplements do not replace a healthy diet, even some studies show that this supplementation may increase the risk of cancer.
She adds that eating foods rich in vegetables and fruits is still the best way to get vitamins and minerals. John Neate, of The Prostate Cancer Charity findings portray this as something that is ‘disappointing’.
“Diet seems important in prostate cancer treatment process and we recommend that patients reduce the consumption of saturated weak, maintain weight and increase consumption of fruit and vegetables,” he said.
Dr. Pamela Mason, scientific adviser supplements Health Information Service, said all three nutrients are essential for human health. But he added, “Vitamins and similar elements are not intended as a remedy. These materials are intended only for maintaining good health.”
Research published earlier this year mentioning vitamin C supplementation may substantially reduce the beneficial role of anti-cancer drugs.
