A new study with Chinese women evaluated their vitamin B6 and folic acid intake1 in comparison to breast cancer risk. It found that the lower the intake of these two B vitamins the greater the risk for breast cancer. This study compared 438 women with breast cancer to 438 age- and residence-matched controls. These results held for all types of breast cancer regardless of hormone receptors. In other words, B vitamins are required for healthy metabolism at the level of DNA activity, to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Share:
