Powerful Anti-Cancer Activity of Antioxidant Nutrients!
Researchers analyzed data from the Beta-Carotene and Retinol Efficacy Trial (CARET). They focused on blood samples from 278 subjects with prostate cancer and 483 matched subjects without cancer. They analyzed blood levels of several carotenoids, including Lutein, vitamin A and vitamin E (alpha and gamma tocopherols), then identified correlations between those levels and the risk of lung and prostate cancer.
Results: In the overall population, the highest intakes of Lutein, Zeaxanthin and alpha-tocopherol were associated with a significantly lower risk of lung cancer. Women with the highest blood levels of Lutein and Zeaxanthin had the lowest risk of developing lung cancer. The risk reduction associated with these nutrients was 69% for Lutein and Zeaxanthin. Men with the highest blood levels of Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) were 41% less likely to develop prostate cancer.
