Vitamin C, E Pills Fail to Prevent Cancer
- Taking vitamin E and vitamin C supplements may not make cancer less likely, a new study shows.
That finding comes from the Physicians’ Health Study II, which recently showed that taking vitamin C and vitamin E supplements may not lower the risk of heart attack or stroke.
Researchers have now analyzed study data on cancer risk and found no sign of lower cancer risk in people taking vitamin E and vitamin C supplements daily during the study.
