A new research shows a possible link between taking B6 vitamins and a lessened chance of developing lung cancer.
A recent paper published in the Journal Of American Medicine confirms that certain B6 vitamins can affect 1-carbon metabolism. The carry over effect provides a boost to DNA integrity which may or may not contribute to a reduced chance of getting lung cancer. The specific cause of cancer is unknown as it has shown manifestations in virtually every type of organ and tissue in the human body.
The result was based on the collection of blood samples of 519,978 people from 10 different countries. Later, 899 lung cancer cases were identified and measured against 1,770 control patients. Serum levels were measured showing that those with higher levels of B6 vitamins were less likely to have lung cancer. It could equally be argued that those who take in high levels of B vitamins are less likely to smoke cigarettes due to a conscious choice to take care of their bodies. No study was done to find if there was a lower occurrence of vitamin consumption by people who smoke cigarettes.
There are currently more than 100 different types of cancer known to modern doctors. Doctors in different regions have asserted a variety of causes for cancer, but medical professionals have yet to discern why the condition can spread from one organ to another, or from one type of tissue to another, while causing the same outcome for the cells. It seems cancer may correlate to the structure of the human cell rather than the actual tissue affected by the disease.
The study was overseen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. For more information on the study, visit www.jama.ama-assn.org.
