Women with Low Dietary Intake of Vitamins E and B May Reduce Breast Cancer Risk by Supplementing with Vitamins E and B "Vitamin supplement use and risk for breast cancer: the Shanghai Breast Cancer Study," Dorjgochoo T, Shrubsole MJ, et al, (Address: Department of Medicine, Vanderbilt Epidemiology Center, School of Medicine, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, USA. E-mail: martha.shrubsole@vanderbilt.edu ). Summary: In a population-based, case-control study involving 3,454 incident breast cancer cases and 3,474 controls, results indicate that supplementation with vitamins B and E may exert a protective effect against breast cancer among women with low dietary intake of vitamins B and E. Using unconditional logistic regression models, vitamin E supplement use among women with low dietary intake of vitamin E was associated with a 20% reduced risk of breast cancer. Similarly, vitamin B supplement use among women with low dietary vitamin B intake was associated with a 20% reduced risk of breast cancer. Thus, the authors conclude, "This study suggests that vitamins E and B supplements may confer protection against breast cancer among women who have low dietary intake of those vitamins."

A human body needs many nutrients, eat a variety of fruits and vegetables - all colors, EVERY DAY. Combine that with some physical movement/exercise, some relaxation,and a detox. Then supplement as you need (an individual circumstance). Remember we are NOT Doctors and have NO medical training. This site is like an Encylopedia - there are many pages, many links on many topics.
