 Over the years, vitamin A has had many links with the dreaded C-word. In my second article in the series on vitamin A, let’s explore how it might help you prevent — and even treat — certain types of cancer.
First, vitamin A could help prevent breast cancer. Over a five-year study, retinoids were able to reduce the risk of second breast cancer in premenopausal women. They were given a synthetic vitamin A, called “fenretinide,” at a dose of 200 milligrams (mg) a day. The nutrient may also help protect the liver from cancer. Synthetic … Read More
