“Our study of supplemental multivitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E and folate did not show any evidence for a decreased risk of lung cancer,” wrote the study’s author, Christopher G. Slatore, M.D., of the University of Washington, in Seattle. “Indeed, increasing intake of supplemental vitamin E was associated with a slightly increased risk of lung cancer.”

Vitamins E and C, for example, were found not to prevent cancer in the large-scale Women’s Health Study and the Physicians’ Health Study II. Findings from other studies suggest that some supplements may actually increase cancer risk by affecting the balance of nutrients in the body.

“If you eat lots of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans, you should get the nutrients, including fiber, vitamins and minerals, your body needs to lower your chances of getting diseases like cancer,” Scroggs said. “Taking a pill can’t replace a healthy diet.”

How are we to know which supplements might do harm?? Talk to your Doctor and do some personal research.

I will have to agree with Scroggs and just eat the *delicious* healthy food placed here by my maker. I would rather trust in God/Mother Nature, than in Man ;-)
