Beta Carotene and smokers very important! | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 28492116 United States 11/28/2012 06:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "The smokers took part in two ill-starred clinical trials testing whether beta-carotene and vitamin A could prevent lung cancer. Nearly everybody thought it would work. And they were wrong. Lung cancer, heart disease, and death from all causes shot up in those who took high-dose beta-carotene. In the Finnish ATBC study of 29,000 male smokers, 20 mg beta-carotene supplements taken over six years were linked to lung cancer. In the U.S. CARET study of more than 18,000 male and female smokers and male asbestos workers, 30 mg beta-carotene supplements over four years were linked to a 28% higher risk of lung cancer and a 17% higher risk of deaths from all causes compared with smokers taking a placebo. Both studies were halted: ATBC in 1994 and CARET in 1996. But study participants are suffering lingering damage, according to a report in the Dec. 1 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute." In compliance with 50% thingy. |

I don't trust any of them! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28653103 Well trust the study, more people end up with lung cancer using beta carotene as smokers vs. taking vitamin A. It's hard to find but it's there. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 28391076 United States 11/28/2012 06:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am a smoker. I enjoy it. The article assumes that if you smoke you will get lung cancer--not true. The stats on lung cancer are no more conclusive in smokers than non-smokers--yeah, that is why the big tobacco companies did not go down legally speaking. They were sued for not devuldging the accuracy of what they were putting in cigaretts,,,not about cancer. I do believe the vitamin A may play a good role though. Several years ago I took a higher than normal dose of Vitamine A for a few weeks and got very sick--watch your dosage. |

There are several studies on this issue. |
