A blog about research, awareness, prevention, treatment and survivorship of Breast Cancer and all cancers, including targeted scientific research and a grassroots approach to increase screening for cancer, especially in the low income and under-insured population of El Paso, Texas, with a view to expand this new health care model to many other 'minority' populations across the United States and beyond

MURKY STATEMENT IN LUNG CANCER PREVENTION
Diets deficient in vitamin A and C and Beta-carotene have been associated with increased risk of lung cancer! However "there is no role for Beta-Carotene, Vitamin A or any other derivatives for the chemoprevention of lung cancer". The truth is Beta-carotene is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer among heavy smokers! A protective role of against lung cancer by Beta-carotene vitamin A or their derivatives, was not found in prospective trials. Briefly if you diet misses it, it is bad, but if you happen to take it, there is no purpose! Go figure! To ask question about such an unresolved issue is clearly dishonest, don't you think...!
