Vitamin B6 Found To Help Reduce Your Risk Of Colorectal Cancer
Date: 06/08/07
Chicken breast, fish, red meat and beans, along with vegetables and fruits (especially bananas) are the menu items that can help men significantly lower their risk of developing colorectal cancer.
All these foods have a key nutrient in common, and as a new study confirms, this nutrient may significantly reduce colorectal cancer risk.
One stood out
In a past e-Alert I told you about a study that assessed nutrient intakes in two groups: more than 360 subjects with colorectal polyps and about 425 polyp-free subjects. Researchers found five nutrients that were associated with a lower risk of developing polyps: folate, beta-carotene, and vitamins C, D, and B-6.
Other research has shown a clear link between low B-6 levels and increased colorectal cancer risk.
This new study comes from Tokyo's National Cancer Center where researchers followed more than 81,000 subjects for more than 14 years. The subjects (about 38,000 men and 43,000 women) were enrolled in the Japan Public Health Center-Based Prospective Study. Food frequency questionnaires were used to assess intake of four specific nutrients: vitamins B-6, B-12, folate, and methionine (an essential amino acid).
