A very important study was just published regarding multivitamin and
mineral use in "older" women with invasive breast cancer.
The vitamin users had a 30 percent REDUCTION in mortality compared to
non-vitamin users. Over 7700 post menopausal women all diagnosed with breast
cancer between the ages of 50-79 were followed for 7 years.
These were individuals part of the WHI (Women's Health Initiative) which
in previous years has demonstrated the risks associated with long term hormone
replacement therapy and changed all of our prescribing practices.
I believe this current study is significant demonstrating credible
benefits of multivitamin and mineral supplements (though the authors do not
understand why there is benefit...
I believe because they do not understand what goes on with nutrients at
the cellular level.
