A new study shows that taking vitamin E and selenium does not reduce the risk of colon cancer caused by polyps.

According to the United Press International, in a study conducted by the Southwestern Cancer Collaboration Group (SWOG), researchers analyzed health data from more than 6,500 people in the United States and Canada. The results showed that the two antioxidants were used. The effect of colon polyps was not much different from placebo, and did not reduce the risk of cancer compared with placebo.

Dr. Peter Lance, deputy director of the University of Arizona Cancer Center and research leader, pointed out that the results of the study were: Vitamin E and selenium did not reduce the risk of colorectal cancer caused by colorectal polyps.

The data used by the Lens team came from the “SELECT” project, which is mainly for the experimental study of male prostate cancer prevention. More than 35,000 healthy men participated in the survey, 21% of whom were colored people, and the test sites were distributed. 427 research centers in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. In the trial, all participating men were divided into four groups: some took vitamin E daily, some took a certain dose of selenium, the third group took other antioxidants, and the rest only took a placebo.

The Lens team compared colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy reports of 6,546 participants and found that all men, regardless of the supplement, had the same incidence of polyps.

Lance pointed out that the entire health care industry is leading people to believe that vitamins will make them healthier, but we can hardly find any evidence that they can prevent cancer.
