Popular Nutrients May Protect Against Bladder Cancer
Research conducted at the Harvard School of Public Health surrounding the relationship between bladder cancer and macro/micronutrients found that vitamins E and C had an antioxidant effect on the cancer. The study involved a group of men from a Health Professionals Follow-Up Study. During the studies 12 years, participants answered questions about food frequency and nutrient intake. Throughout the course of the trial, it was determined that 320 cases of bladder cancer had been diagnosed. No relationships were observed between bladder cancer and calories, potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron or water-soluble vitamins. However, an inverse relationship between dietary vitamin E and vitamin E supplements was found, as well as a dose-relationship for vitamin E and vitamin C supplements.
