Should we be wary of certain vitamins? According to a study reported by The Sunconducted by Swedish scientists and published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation, taking certain vitamin supplements might fuel the growth of certain cancerous tumors.
Specifically, certain vitamin C and E tablets might promote the spread of lung cancer as part of a balanced diet. According to scientists, cancer patients should not change their diet. This study was conducted with mice, these rodents with cancer received additional vitamins to those already obtained through their diet.
As reminded ANSES“vitamin C helps to consolidate the collagen fibers, which make up the connective tissue which supports the cells and thus structures the other tissues. It is involved in the synthesis of molecules involved in nerve transmission (eg norepinephrine). It plays a protective role in tissues by capturing oxidizing substances. Finally, it facilitates the absorption of non-heme iron (present in foods of plant origin such as legumes or nuts)“. Regarding vitamin E, it is found in certain vegetable oils, cod liver oil and certain nuts.
A balanced diet
In this study, the team found that “the higher the level of vitamins in a mouse’s system, the more new blood vessels form in tumors, which might eventually fuel the growth and spread of disease“.
“In today’s society, many people eat healthy, take supplements, and then have a shot of ginger and a smoothie. If you do all of that, you might end up with the dose levels we’re talking regarding“, warns the author, Dr. Martin Bergö of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. Before completing: “If you cut out all the antioxidants in food, you would get sick from various reasons, such as vitamin deficiencies, and it would influence cancer. We focus on doses [complétées] increased above required levels“.
