Vitamins to prevent cancer
24th Nov 2005, 21:08 GMT
Filed under: Alternative Therapies In the search for cancer treatments and preventions, more people are turning to vitamin supplements in an effort to improve health and battle disease. While baby boomers in particualr are snapping up supplements to the tune of nearly $18 billion dollars last year, some in the cancer industry say the search for such vitamins is useless. Dr. Daniel W. Nixon, president of the Institute for Cancer Prevention in New York was quoted as saying, "Vitamins and minerals are probably more or less worthless as far as cancer prevention is concerned." This statement contradicts Mike Adams' Seven Laws of Nurtition , in which he states, "most of the cancer we are seeing today is caused by cancer-promoting food ingredients such as sodium nitrate, hydrogenated oils, MSG, artificial food colors and various chemical preservatives." Whether you side with the Dr. Nixon or Mr. Adams a good multi-vitamin is always a healthy way to start the day. Read Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
