Questions? Ask me!

Around 7000 women in America die from endometrial cancer a year. Worldwide, it is the fifth most frequent sort of cancer amidst women. New scientific research has shown that Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and beta-carotene consumption decreases the possibility of endometrial cancer.

In Cancer Causes and Control, US scientists state that a 1000 microgram increase per 1000 kcal of diet of beta-carotene produced a 12% reduction in endometrial cancer risk. As it goes, 50mg boost per 1000 kcal of Vitamin C reduced endometrial cancer by 15%, and 5mg increase of Vitamin E showed 9% reduction.

These antioxidant vitamins might have a part in limiting oxidative damage to DNA, and thus reduce cancer risk.
