Natural Vitamin E May Prevent Lung Cancer
With the recent alarming studies that show vitamin E supplements may cause lung cancer, one might think that naturally occurring vitamin E in foods is also dangerous. Not so. A new study has found that vitamin E in its natural alpha-tocopherol form slashed lung cancer risk by more than 50 percent.
It's one of the first studies to look at the effects of different forms of vitamin E on lung cancer risk.
There are eight forms of vitamin E: four tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) and four tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta). Alpha-tocopherol is the main source found in supplements and in the European diet, while gamma-tocopherol is the most common form in the American diet.
Mike Adams at Natural News comments on this:
... the real truth about natural vitamin E continues to come out: It slashes lung cancer risk by a whopping 55 percent. It also slashes the risk of other cancers, but only if you use the natural form of vitamin E, not the synthetic form. The National Cancer Institute knows this, of course, but they continue to use synthetic vitamin E anyway, since the whole purpose of their own studies is to discredit vitamin E rather than conduct actual science.
It makes you wonder, doesn't it?
