Voedingsadvies El MondoResearch Question:
Eating vitamins lowers the chances of getting colon adenoma?
Study Design:
This overview article contained 13 observational studies with 3832 people with colon adenoma.
Results and conclusions:
The researchers found that eating a lot of vitamin C compared to little, the chance of getting colon adenoma significantly with 22% [95% CI = 0.62-0.98] reduced. The reduced risk did not change by BMI, the smoking behaviour and the energy intake.
The researchers found that eating a lot of beta carotene compared with little, the chance of getting colon adenoma also significantly reduced. But the reduced risk was not found for eating a lot of vitamin A [pooled RR = 0.87, 95% CI = 0.67-1.14] and vitamin E [pooled RR = 87, 95% CI = 0.69-1.10].
The researchers concluded that eating a lot of vitamin C and beta-carteen the chance of getting colon adenoma reduced.

Additional information about El Mondo:
A good way to daily a lot of vitamin C and beta-carotene to get inside, through 200-300 g of vegetables, especially paprika and dark green leafy vegetables (spinach) and 2-5 pieces of fruit, especially felgekeurde fruits per day.

That eating a lot of vitamin C and beta-carteen the chance of getting colon adenoma lowers, does not say it is justified now to vitamin C and beta carotene supplements to go swallow in the fight against colon adenoma. A power supply with lots of vitamin C and beta carotene is certainly not the same as swallowing vitamin C and beta carotene supplements. You can compare this with the following example: a monkey is an animal but not every animal is a monkey!
