Voedingsadvies El MondoResearch Question:
Eating vitamins lowers the chances of getting colon cancer?
Study Design:
This overview article contained 74 articles (cohort studies).
Results and conclusions:
The researchers found the highest folate intake via diet compared with the lowest intake, a significantly reduced risk of 12% [multivariable-adjusted RR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.81-0.95] for colon cancer.
The researchers found the highest vitamin D intake through diet compared with the lowest intake, a significantly reduced risk of 13% [multivariable-adjusted RR = 0.87, 95% CI = 0.77-0.99] for colon cancer.
The researchers found the highest vitamin B6 intake via diet compared with the lowest intake, a significantly reduced risk of 12% [multivariable-adjusted RR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.79-0.99] for colon cancer.
The researchers found the highest vitamin B2 intake via diet compared with the lowest intake, a significantly reduced risk of 14% [multivariable-adjusted RR = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.76-0.97] for colon cancer.
However, the researchers found no link between vitamin A, B12, C, or E-intake via diet and the risk of getting colon cancer.
The researchers concluded that eating a lot of folic acid, vitamin D, B6 and B2 the chance of getting colon cancer reduced.
