Could Vitamin B6 along with the amino acid methionine reduce the risk of lung cancer? A large European study involving over four hundred thousand people in ten countries over eight years seems to suggest this -even in smokers. I am not suggesting anyone should light up in celebration however. Smoking is a habit which has caused great suffering, not just in those who have smoked, but also among their countless loved ones who have had to suffer and bury the smokers, once lung cancer and chronic lung disease due to smoking had finally finished them off. Not a nice scenario.
In any case, the researchers repeated the sage advice that stopping - or better yet never starting - smoking remained the best preventer of lung cancer. They also said that healthier lifestyles could account for their results. The take home message for me is that a balanced nutritional intake is a key ally in the fight against cancer. So if your nutrition is not what it should be, educate yourself and change your eating patterns - starting today. And stop smoking, using all means necessary.
