Study: Modest Cancer Benefit in Multivitamins for Men Over 50
A Daily Multivitamin Reduces Cancer Risk in Older Men by Olivia B. Waxman. Time. October 18, 2012.
The study followed over 14,000 physicians over the age of 50 for 11 years. An 8% reduction in cancer rate, the study indicates, seems to be associated with taking a daily multivitamin. The study's lead author stated that skipping the vitamins and eating a healthy and varied diet could also keep the tumors at bay. This study contrasts with recent studies finding little benefit (omega 3, vitamin D) or harm (increased death rate for Vitamin B, folic acid, iron, copper, etc) for vitamin supplements.
