"綜合維他命降低男性罹癌風險"

其他醫師對此研究結果表示懷疑。

美國一個研究團隊宣稱，男性應每天服用綜合維他命片以降低罹患癌症的機率。這份研究的結果被發表在美國醫學會期刊上，研究歷時十年，調查了一萬五千名50歲以上的男性。

研究對象每天要吃一顆綜合維他命片或是糖片。吃維他命的人當中，每1000人有17起癌症案例。吃替代糖片的人當中，癌症案例則升至18起。瑟索醫師是研究團隊中的一員，他注意到飲食是減低罹癌風險的重要因素，但補充道：「現在我們了解到每天服用綜合維他命也可以在中老年男性預防癌症中被考慮。」

其他醫師則對此測試表示懷疑，許多人表示，其他研究顯示綜合維他命對癌症風險有相反的影響。多數醫師主張，民眾能做的最好辦法就是吃大量蔬菜水果，因為這在許多不同的測試中都顯示能降低癌症風險。

(Health) Multivitamins may Lower Cancer Risk in Men

Other doctors are unconvinced by the results of the research study.

A team of researchers in the US have claimed that men should take a daily multivitamin tablet to reduce their chances of contracting cancer. Their study, the results of which were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, was carried over 10 years and looked at 15,000 men aged 50 or above.

The subjects of the study were given either a multivitamin pill or a sugar pill every day. For those taking the vitamins, there were 17 cases of cancer for every 1,000 people. The number rose to 18 cases for those taking the substitute sugar pill. Dr. Howard Sesso, who was part of the research team, noted that diet was an important factor in cancer reduction, but added: Now we know that taking a daily multivitaminKmay also be considered in the prevention of cancer in middle-aged and older men.

Other doctors were not convinced by the tests, and many noted that other studies have shown that multivitamin pills have the opposite effect on cancer risk. Most doctors argued that the best thing people can do is to eat lots of fruits and vegetables, as this has been shown in a variety of tests to lower cancer risk.
