Vitamin E linked to lower lung cancer risk

By Jack Challem - The Nutrition Reporter

Several fractions of vitamin E were associated with a substantially lower risk of lung cancer, according to researchers at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Texas. High intake of alpha tocopherol, beta tocopherol, and gamma tocopherol were all related to lower cancer risk, but only the alpha tocopherol form was significantly related to a 34 to 53 percent lower risk of lung cancer.
