October 31, 2012 17:27

According to new research by American scientists, taking multivitamins daily will reduce the risk of cancer in men.

The study was conducted on nearly 15,000 men, mainly doctors in their 50s and over 50, over the past 10 years.

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, cancer rates are reduced by 8% in people who take daily vitamin pills.

The study also found that the risk of dying from cancer was 12% lower among men who took a daily multivitamin.

“This study suggests that men may benefit from taking a multivitamin to prevent cancer,” said Dr. John Michael Gaziano, chief of the division of aging at Brigham and Women's Hospital.

Scientists conclude that a healthy, balanced diet, with plenty of fruit, is essential to provide the body with adequate vitamins and minerals./.
