Can Vitamin B Beat Lung Cancer?

A recent study in Europe found that high levels of Vitamin B6 and the amino acid methionine can reduce the risk of lung cancer by half.

Vitamin B6 is found naturally in nuts, fish and meat. Supplements are also available.

Although these findings are very exciting, experts suggest that more research is required before they can be confident that a high increase on the intake of B vitamins can help reducing lung cancer.

They believe that quitting smoking still is the most reliable way to protect people from getting this disease.

The study included almost 400,000 people from 10 different European countries over eight years. Some of them had never smoked, whilst others were current smokers and some were ex-smokers.

More experts added that although there is a link between levels of vitamin B and reducing lung cancer, it has not been proved yet that vitamin B will fight the cancer

Once again, healthy diet and lifestyle can help to prevent disease.
