In recent years, vitamin E is especially favored by middle-aged and elderly people. They use vitamin E to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, prevent cancer and resist aging, but the more drugs, the better.

Taking vitamin E in moderation can prevent cancer, but if taking too much, it may induce cancer. The research team led by Professor Masayuki Kawasaki of Mie University Medical College confirmed this important discovery through long-term research. Professor Chuanxi

They added vitamin E 10 times more than normal blood to the cells of leukemia patients. After cultivation, they found something in DNA.

Carcinogenic related injuries. Professor western Sichuan pointed out that the cause of cancer caused by vitamin E is that the oxide formed by vitamin E damages thymine and cytosine DNA. The National Cancer Institute of the United States conducted a clinical trial on 29,000 smokers, but the incidence of lung cancer increased by 18% after taking beta carotene (which can be converted into vitamin A in the body). Taking vitamin E reduces the incidence of prostate cancer and rectal cancer. However, in the experiment, it was also found that vitamin E, like beta carotene, has dual functions of cancer inhibition and carcinogenesis, and the key lies in the amount of intake. Professor Western Sichuan said: "It cannot be denied that vitamin E can inhibit cancer, but excessive intake will have side effects and may induce cancer. I hope that those who think that taking vitamin E as much as possible will pay special attention to the doctor's advice. " Scholars in China believe that taking vitamin E three times a day should not exceed 100 mg.
