Scientists have named vitamins that cause cancer: examined 77 thousands of people

American experts have discovered a connection between the consumption of vitamins B6, B12 and increased risk of lung tumors, writes the publication Daily Express.

As you know, B vitamins are effective for increased fatigue., decreased vision, depression or nervous system disorders. However, they may also increase the risk of developing cancer..

They turned out to be especially dangerous for men who smoke. They, who takes vitamin supplements, are twice as likely to get cancer, and those, who else smokes, – в три-четыре раза чаще, experts noted.

One of the authors of the study, Research Fellow and Assistant Professor at The Ohio State University Theodore Brasky, reported, that scientists analyzed the data 77 thousands of people. They came to the conclusion, that B12 intake increased the risk of developing lung cancer by 30 percent, а из-за употребления B6 – на 40 percent.

Men, who took more 55 micrograms of vitamin B12 per day, the risk of lung cancer was 98 percent higher compared to men, who did not take B vitamins, – озвучил он результаты изыскания.
