Now there is additional evidence of the connection between the intake of antioxidant supplements and increased tumor growth. Experiments on animals and human cancer tissue confirm that addition of some antioxidants increases the growth of the severe malignant melanoma type of skin cancer.
"This is not the way to treat cancer. In the best case, the treatment makes no difference, but it can also exacerbate the disease," says Kristell Le Gal Beneroso, who has a Ph.D. in medicine from Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
The idea that antioxidants protect against cancer because they neutralize so-called free radicals has been challenged in several studies in recent years. It has become apparent that antioxidants protect not only healthy cells in the body, but also cancer cells.
Taht **** killed my mother, this is sad news if it's accurate.
