Have you ever heard that multivitamins prevent you from some illnesses such as the flu or diarrhea? But what about cancer? According to a recent study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, these pills may be able to reduce the likelihood of developing cancer.
The following research is called “Multivitamins in the Prevention of Cancer in Men”, and its objective was to determine whether the intake of daily multivitamins reduces the risk of cancer among men or not.
The following research is called “Multivitamins in the Prevention of Cancer in Men”, and its objective was to determine whether the intake of daily multivitamins reduces the risk of cancer among men or not.
The subjects of study were only male physicians who had to take daily multivitamins from 1997 to 2011. The results showed that a small (but important) amount of the total of participants of this study reduced the risk of developing cancer.
This research was carried out by Dr. Michael Gaziano and his team, which consisted of Howard D. Sesso, William G. Christen, Joanne P. Smith, and Jean MacFadyen.
After listening to our presentation on multivitamins, what do you think of this discovery? Are multivitamins going to be considered to fight diseases as the one previously mentioned?
