Swallowing a simple daily multivitamin can reduce a man's risk of cancer, say the Brigham and Women's Hospital researchers who plan to release results of their jaw-dropping study at a cancer research conference today.
The data comes from scientists who tracked the health of 15,000 men, all 50 or older, for 10 years.
Half the men in the group took a multivitamin every day, while the other half took a placebo.
All of them were required to tell researchers about any cancer diagnoses they received. Researchers confirmed those diagnoses through the men's medical records.
Researchers now say that the men who took daily multivitamin had an 8 percent reduction in total cancer, when compared to the placebo-taking group.
"Despite the fact that more than one-third of Americans take multivitamins, their long-term effects were unknown until now," said Dr. J. Michael Gaziano, lead author of the blockbuster study, and the head of Brigham and Women's aging division.
Intrigued scientists say the study's results could be far-reaching.
"Many studies have suggested that eating a nutritious diet may reduce a man's risk of developing cancer," Brigham and Women's epidemiologist Howard D. Sesso said. "Now we know that taking a daily multivitamin, in addition to addressing vitamin and mineral deficiencies, may also be considered in the prevention of cancer in middle-aged and older men."
