Supplements to prevent lung cancer may lead to other diseases.

supplement

In this article, we will discuss supplements to prevent lung cancer.

Do you take any preventive measures to prevent yourself from getting sick?

There are many people who are not very conscious when it comes to prevention, but based on the experiences of their family members or their own illnesses, it is likely that there are people who are aware of some way to prevent illness.

Preventive methods? It is unclear if we can call it a preventive method, but some people may think that taking supplements can prevent lung cancer, but the study I will introduce is about whether lung cancer can be prevented. But the study I'm going to introduce is about whether lung cancer can be prevented.

The study

Regarding the intake of vitamin A

There is little or no difference in the incidence of lung cancer and lung cancer mortality. (RCT - 190118 participants)

Smokers and asbestos-exposed workers have an increased risk of lung cancer incidence and lung cancer mortality, while vitamin A intake increases the risk of minor side effects such as yellowing of the skin and mild gastrointestinal symptoms.

As for vitamin C intake.

The results show little or no difference in the incidence of lung cancer.

Studies in women have shown that active vitamin C intake increases the risk of lung cancer incidence, while studies in men have shown little or no difference in lung cancer mortality with vitamin C intake.

With regard to vitamin D + calcium intake

results in postmenopausal women may make little or no difference in lung cancer incidence.

With regard to vitamin E intake

may increase the incidence of lung cancer or mortality from lung cancer and the risk of hemorrhagic stroke.

Calcium intake

There is little or no difference in the incidence of lung cancer or the risk of kidney stones in postmenopausal women. 

With regard to selenium intake

results in men may increase the incidence of lung cancer and lung cancer mortality, grade 1-2 dermatitis, and alopecia.

A combination of vitamins A, C, and E plus selenium and zinc may have little or no effect on the incidence of lung cancer.

A combination of vitamins A, C, E + selenium + zinc makes little or no difference in the incidence of lung cancer.

In conclusion.

Properly designed RCTs have shown no beneficial effects of supplementation on the prevention of lung cancer and lung cancer mortality in healthy individuals. Vitamin A supplements increase the incidence of lung cancer and mortality in smokers or those exposed to asbestos. Vitamin C increases the incidence of lung cancer in women. Vitamin E increases the risk of hemorrhagic stroke.

Conclusion 

According to the results of these studies, there was no preventive benefit, but rather a possible increase in the likelihood of contracting other diseases.

The results of these studies suggest that there is no preventive benefit, but rather an increased likelihood of contracting other diseases, possibly due to excessive intake of each nutrient. But the study did not mention this.

However, there are no advertised preventive benefits. What are the factors that led to the idea that drinking them would prevent disease?
