Said the study’s author, Christopher G. Slatore, M.D., of the University of Washington, in Seattle:

“Our study of supplemental multivitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E and folate did not show any evidence for a decreased risk of lung cancer.

Indeed, increasing intake of supplemental vitamin E was associated with a slightly increased risk of lung cancer.”

Such were the findings of Dr. Slatore and colleagues from selected prospective cohort of 77,126 men and women between 50 and 76 years of age in the Washington state VITAL (VITamins And Lifestyle) study.

From the said population, the team determined their rate of developing lung cancer over four years considering the current and past vitamin usage, smoking, and other demographic and medical parameters.
