(NaturalNews) Worldwide cases of liver cancer are on the rise, as the third most common form of cancer takes the lives of millions around the globe each year. The liver is charged with performing more than 300 critical functions in the body; from cholesterol and glucose metabolism to clearing dangerous chemical and bacterial invaders before they can wreak cellular havoc. A diagnosis of liver cancer is frequently associated with early mortality and diminished quality of life.
Researchers
studying subjects from two Chinese cohorts have published the result of their
work in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute that demonstrates high
consumption of vitamin E either from diet or vitamin supplements may lower the
risk of liver cancer. Vitamin E is a fat soluble nutrient that exits in
multiple isomer variants that have been shown to inhibit the development and
progression of certain cancers by inhibiting mutational damage to DNA strands.
VitaminE from diet and supplements can provide a significant shield against liver
cancer. To conduct the study and determine a causal relationship between
vitamin E intake and liver cancer incidence, researchers analyzed data from a
total of 132,837 individuals in China who were enrolled in one of two
population-based cohort studies jointly conducted by the Shanghai Cancer
Institute and Vanderbilt University. After reviewing validated food-frequency
questionnaires, the scientists conducted in-person interviews to determine the
most commonly consumed foods and whether the participants took vitamin supplements.
The
research team analyzed liver cancer risk by comparing participants who had a
high intake of vitamin E with those who had low intake. They found that 267
liver cancer cases were diagnosed over a five to eleven year follow-up period,
and determined that vitamin E intake from diet and vitamin E supplement use
were both associated with a considerably reduced risk of developing liver
cancer.
The
study authors concluded "We found a clear, inverse dose-response relation
between vitamin E intake and liver cancer risk... overall, the take home
message is that high intake of vitamin E either from diet or supplements was
related to lower risk of liver cancer in middle-aged or older people." It
is important to understand that vitamin E exists naturally as eight different
mirror isomers known as tocotrienols and tocopherols. Be sure to supplement
with a full-spectrum form of vitamin E (400 to 800 IU daily) to benefit from
lowered risk from liver cancer and chronic disease.
