Vitamin E Prevents Lung Cancer - News Media Virtually Silent

Source: HANS e-News - November 15, 2008

Researchers at the University of Texas Anderson Cancer Center have found that taking more vitamin E substantially reduces lung cancer. Their new study shows that people consuming the highest amounts of vitamin E had the greatest benefit. When they compared persons taking the most vitamin E with those taking the least, there was a 61 percent reduction in lung cancer risk.

Lung cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer on earth; over 1.3 million people are diagnosed with it each year. With medical treatment, survival rates are "consistently poor," says Cancer Research UK. Lung cancer kills nearly 1.2 million per year. It accounts for 12 percent of all cancers, but results in 18 percent of all cancer deaths. Anything that can reduce these dismal facts is important news . . .very important. Yet the mainstream media have virtually ignored vitamin E's important role as a cancer fighter.

A 61 percent reduction in lung cancer with vitamin E? How could the news media have missed this one?
