VITAMIN E is one of vitamins that plays important role in body to prevent ageing. Nevertheless, if it is consumed in high dose, this vitamin is supposed be able to increase the risk of lung cancer. A research reported it and it was publicized on early February 2008.
Research in The United States that entangled 77 thousand of participants indicates that consuming 400 milligrams a day of vitamin E in a long-term can increase cancer risk up to 28 percents, especially among smokers.
The research result publicized in American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine also send a warning of similar threat about beta-caroten if it is consumed redundantly.
Researcher suggests that vitamin E intake shall not be obtained from synthetic drugs. To get the best benefit, vitamin E is better to be obtained from natural source like fruits and vegetable.
Dr. Tim Byers from Colorado University told that well-balanced and healthy diet by acquiring benefit from wide coverage of nutrition and mineral can help avoiding the risk of cancer.
In their research, the expert team monitors daily intake of vitamin C, acid folat and vitamin E taken by participants with average age of 50 till 76 for four years. Throughout the research, it is noted that 521 participants experiencing lung cancer.
Cigarette habit, disease history in families and age are factors that have been predicted having connection with cancer. Meanwhile, different with vitamin E, the usage of vitamin C and acid folat exactly do not have any effect.
Experts finally conclude, after reckoning and analysing data for at least eight year, that there is a risk increase at about 7 percent for every 100 miligram of vitamin E consumed everyday.
The habit of vitamin E consumption is usually found among smokers, but its consumption is sometime unlimited.
The benefit of vitamin E is widely recognised as antioxidant that can protect cells and molecule against free radicals. Nevertheless, researchers in The United States speculate that if vitamin E given in high dose, the vitamin can have the character of pro-oxidant, causing oxidation and trigger cells to be damaged.
Differ from the great number of assumption about the benefit of vitamin E, consumption of the vitamin as a supplement relates to the risk of lung cancer. Another research will possibly focus at other component in fruits and vegetable that maybe can explain how they have relationship with the degradation of cancer risk,¨ said Dr Christopher Slatore from Washington University that lead the research.
Meanwhile a research in Finlandia that entangled 29 thousand of male smokers consume betakaroten --which can be changed into vitamin A in the body-- shows that there is an increase of lung cancer risk as high as 18 percent.
