Heavy Vitamin B Intake Linked to Lung Cancer

Ohio State researchers have found a clear link between heavy usage of vitamins B6 and B12 supplements and lung cancer in men.

The study, led by Theodore Brasky, PhD, from The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute, showed that the risk of developing lung cancer doubled for male non-smokers who heavily consumed the supplements over a 10-year period. That increase in risk jumped to three-to-four times for men who smoked.
