Science Reveals New Understanding Of Link Between Vitamin E And Cancer
- 5 years ago
Whether vitamin E can lower people's risk for developing cancer may depend on a genetic variant.
According to UPI, a gene known as catechol-O-methyltransferase plays a critical role in the matter.
While some studies showed vitamin E had a beneficial effect, clinical trials that did not use placebos showed no benefits.
That led researchers to believe vitamin E was always ineffective. Now, they say, they were wrong.
