Vitamin pills can cause cancer
Balance diet, good food, and healthy food, are the need for human
beings for a healthy life. It is another matter that a little percentage of the world population has access to all these. Those who maintain a good food habit, not necessarily always remain healthy, and they are also subjected to fall ill like others, who do not have the means to maintain appropriate food habits. Therefore, there is no guarantee for a definite good health with healthy food and costly
supplements that we intake to compensate the deficit of vitamins, minerals, etc.
The simple reason to discard artificial pills is that we are the part of the nature and the best possible help we can get from the nature only. Professor
Martin Wiseman, Medical and Scientific adviser for the World Cancer Research Fund has warned those, who indulge in consuming vitamin and mineral pills regularly are subjected to get cancer. Wiseman stressed on the need of eating natural balance diet instead of fulfilling the deficit by tablets. The knowledge that some nutrients of the natural food protect the body from getting cancer should not be mixed with the same nutrient in tablet form, he said. These supplement tablets, when taken in high doses, behave erratically and cause sickness, he said.
One example of research result he sites of the people with smoking habit, who regularly take beta-carotene supplements, increase the risk of getting lung cancer. Vitamins A and E supplements can in fact be the reasons for sickness, research implies.
The confusion in envisaging the harmful effect on our body is slowly diminishing with more and more research, informed Wiseman. The study result in 2007 advocated selenium supplements for minimizing the risk of prostate cancer, but a recent study failed to find any evidence of it, according to Wiseman.
Leading professional in this field have concluded saying vitamin supplements do more harm than good to our health, and even can cause cancer.
