The researchers found that levels of vitamin B6 may reduce the risk of developing lung cancer. However, it is not a sufficient excuse to continue smoking, but also the causes of this phenomenon is unclear.
In the new study, researchers from France have found that people in the body where there is a high level of vitamin B6 , Less than half are at risk lung cancer Than all the others. Reducing this risk is very important, but it does not mean that these people may smoke without fear for their health.
Although scientists have found a link between vitamin B6 And one amino acid, with a reduction in the incidence of Lung Cancer , This does not mean that taking nutrients containing these components (especially rich in this vitamin bananas), will also help reduce the risk. The researchers can not yet explain, what exactly is explained by the impact of vitamin B6 And whether it is possible to talk about cause and effect, not just on the connection. To clarify this more research is needed.
"This work could lead to important new discoveries, - says Dr. Norman Edelman, chief medical director of the American Lung Association. - But the only people in any case should not think that they can drink two or three tablets with vitamins and then safely continue smoking. "
The researchers studied more than 520 thousand Europeans who were interviewed between 1992 and 2000. They then compared 899 people who have been diagnosed lung cancer with 1770 similarly selected by people who are not affected by this disease.
It turned out that the holders of the highest level vitamin B6 blood chances to fall ill lung cancer They were 56% less. In the group of those with high levels of melatonin number of cases was less than 48%. Under normal conditions, about 15% of regular smokers there lung cancer . Among those who never smoked, the number of cases is estimated at less than 1%.
