Drops of health – Vitamin B

Women with higher intakes of vitamin B6, whether from food or vitamin supplements, may be less likely to develop cancer of the colon or rectum, according to a study from Harvard Medical School. Further tests are needed to confirm the result, but the findings are promising. For one thing, other public health studies have found a similar association between vitamin B6 and colorectal cancer. And laboratory research has shown that high levels of vitamin B6 can suppress cancer in human and animal cells.
