Abstract:
What's new? Despite many studies on the benefits of fruits and vegetables in cancer prevention, it is still unclear how antioxidant vitamins affect lung cancer risk. Here, the authors conduct a large prospective study on a Japanese population over an 18‐year follow up period. Using a questionnaire, they collected information on intake of vitamin E, vitamin C, retinol, alpha‐carotene and beta‐carotene, and then looked at lung cancer cases. Retinol was associated with a higher risk of lung cancer, but only in men. They observed no increase associated with the other vitamins, in men or women.
