Study: Multivitamins may lower cancer risk in men
America’s favorite dietary supplements, multivitamins, modestly lowered the risk for cancer in healthy male doctors who took them for more than a decade, the first large study to test these pills has found.
The result is a surprise because many studies of individual vitamins have found they don’t help prevent chronic diseases and some even seemed to raise the risk of cancer.
In the new study, multivitamins cut the chance of developing cancer by 8 percent.
