Ilona Warf's blog ::Non-smokers’ risk of lung cancer tied to air pollution










One               of               the               many               risks               of               smoking               cigarettes               is               an               increased               risk               of               lung               cancer.

The               statistics               are               sobering.

A               man               who               smokes               until               age               seventy-five               has               a               sixteen               percent               chance               of               dying               of               this               disease               that               slowly               destroys               lung               tissue               and               gradually               spreads               to               other               parts               of               the               body.

Unfortunately,               some               smokers               aren't               willing               to               kick               the               habit.

What               about               diet?

A               new               study               shows               that               getting               more               vitamin               B6               could               help               smokers               lower               their               risk               of               lung               cancer.

More               B6               to               Prevent               Lung               Cancer?
               In               a               study               published               in               the               Journal               of               the               American               Medical               Association,               researchers               looked               at               blood               levels               of               vitamin               B6               in               899               lung               cancer               sufferers               and               compared               them               to               1,770               people               who               were               free               of               the               disease               '"               noting               an               inverse               relationship               between               the               risk               of               lung               cancer               and               vitamin               B6               blood               levels.

Those               with               the               highest               quantities               of               vitamin               B6               in               their               blood               were               less               likely               to               get               the               disease.

In               fact,               those               who               had               the               very               highest               levels               (top               twenty-five               percent)               had               less               than               half               the               risk               of               being               diagnosed               with               lung               cancer.
               The               same               study               showed               that               people               who               had               higher               levels               of               a               protein               called               methionine,               and,               to               a               lesser               extent,               the               vitamin               folate               also               have               a               lower               risk               of               cancer               of               the               lung.

High               levels               of               all               three               components               reduced               the               risk               by               as               much               as               sixty-six               percent.

At               least               for               methionine,               higher               levels               lower               the               risk               of               lung               cancer               for               both               smokers               and               non-smokers.
               How               to               Get               More               B6?
               It's               too               early               to               say               whether               vitamin               B6               prevents               lung               cancer,               just               that               there's               a               association               between               higher               levels               and               a               lower               risk               of               cancer               of               the               lung.

For               this               reason,               taking               vitamin               B6               supplements               to               reduce               lung               cancer               risk               can't               be               recommended.

Plus,               it's               not               clear               whether               B6               supplements               have               the               same               benefits               as               natural               vitamin               B6               from               food               sources.

Getting               more               than               100               milligrams               of               B6               a               day               in               supplemental               form               isn't               routinely               recommended               since               high               levels               of               vitamin               B6               can               damage               the               nervous               system.
               The               best               natural               sources               of               vitamin               B6               are               animal               products               -               beef,               chicken,               and               fish.

Other               good               sources               are               fortified               cereals,               grains,               walnuts,               leafy               greens               and               bananas               -               although               vitamin               B6               is               better               absorbed               from               animal               products               than               it               is               from               plant               based               sources.

The               best               sources               of               methionine               are               animal               products,               while               folate               is               most               abundant               in               green,               leafy               vegetables,               lentils,               and               beans.
               More               Vitamin               B6               and               Colon               Cancer:               The               Bottom               Line?
               The               safest               bet               to               reduce               the               risk               of               lung               cancer               is               to               quit               smoking               and               eat               a               varied               diet               made               up               of               fruits               and               vegetables,               beans               and               lentils,               nuts,               whole               grains,               and               smaller               amounts               of               lean,               organic               meat.

(preferably               humanely               raised).

This               ensures               adequate               amounts               of               vitamins               B6,               methionine,               and               folate               for               most               people               -               without               the               risk               of               getting               too               much               B6.
