Study: Multivitamins Can Drag Cancer

However, many opinions against this study.

Scientists Nobel Prize, James Watson, the current state of cancer can be avoided by taking the capsules containing antioxidants mutivitamin.

Nutritional supplements containing antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, and E, has long been a subject of debate in the world of cancer. Some studies have shown that antioxidant supplements may provide protection against cancer or vice versa.

Professor James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA "double helix" in 1953, rebut the presumption to the effect that the capsules multivitamins can make more mistakes than good.

As reported by the Telegraph, January 10, 2013, in his latest report, they claim that the cancer had reached the final stage often cannot be treated because the body produces a high antioxidant level. Antioxidants are supposed to treat even stopping treatment.

While in a healthy person, antioxidant free radical molecules strike duty that can damage DNA. But, when it comes to cancer treatment uses free radicals to attack tumor cells. So the needed antioxidants to fight free radicals and tumor cells.

Watson said that there should be a study to test this theory. "This study was important work me after discovering the double helix," he said.

He added, the current focus is to cure cancer. "Everyone should be taking nutritional supplements of antioxidants to prevent cancer," wrote Watson in the Journal of the Royal Society's Open Biology.

A different opinion

While the different opinions expressed by Professor Nic Jones, Chief Scientist at Cancer Research UK. He said that since there was research suggesting that antioxidant supplements are not effective for prevention of cancer in healthy people.

"In some cases, supplements of antioxidants and even increase the risk of cancer. People should think twice about taking the supplements, "says Nic Jones.

It is also revealed Steve Williamson, spokesman for the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. "Now a lot of people who thought that antioxidants can protect them from cancer. But I always advise cancer patients not taking any supplements while doing chemo, "said Williamson.
