Subject MSM Story about Supplements Causing Tumor Growth - are THEY going to start restricting access to homeopathic remedies??

Blame the natural remedies and homeopathic trends for cancer and tumors...shift the focus from our disgusting, polluted artificial world and food and water supply.

For fuck's sake.

"Certain supplements that people once hoped would fight cancer may in fact fuel tumors, possibly by knocking out some of the body’s natural defenses against cancer, Swedish researchers reported Wednesday.

Tiny lung tumors grew and spread far more quickly in mice given vitamin E and an antioxidant supplement called acetylcysteine, the researchers reported. Further checks showed the antioxidants interfered with an important cancer-blocking protein called p53.

Their findings may help explain startling studies that suggest smokers who take certain supplements are in fact more likely to develop lung cancer, and they may help explain why popping vitamins and other supplements doesn’t seem to benefit people’s health much.

“The antioxidants caused the mice to die twice as fast,” Martin Bergo, a researcher at the University of Gothenburg in Gothenburg, Sweden who led the study, told reporters on a conference call.

It wasn’t what they were expecting to find. And what’s odd is the supplements also did what they were supposed to do, which is to reduce DNA damage, according to the report in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Antioxidants are chemicals that react with other charged molecules called free radicals. Free radicals can damage cells, including DNA, in the same process that causes rust. Antioxidants neutralize them, and experts believe they are one of many reasons that fruits and vegetables help keep people healthy, because they are loaded with natural antioxidants.

So if food is good, taking the good parts out of food so you can get more must be better, right? Maybe not. Many supplements on the market also aim to boost antioxidants, and Americans are true believers, spending an estimated $12 billion a year on supplements of all kinds. "
