Causes of Lung Cancer Apparently Not Only Because of Cigarettes| Sat Oct 13 2018 12:45:55 GMT+0700 (Waktu Indonesia Barat)

In a study of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) found the fact that heavy smokers actually have a lower risk of lung cancer. That is if he has certain levels of Vitamin B6 and Essential Protein in his body. IARC scientists say that although they did not find a causal relationship, the results of the study may be a clue as to why some active smokers have never had lung cancer. The IARC study examined about 900 people with lung cancer and found a link between the risk of lung cancer and low levels of vitamin B6 and amino acids called methionine. Amino acids themselves can be found in proteins such as meat, fish and nuts. Even though vitamin B6 is also found in meat, nuts, vegetables and bananas. So most likely, the cause of lung cancer are those who lack these two nutrients. "What we found is that both of these are strong markers of lung cancer risk, but we have not shown that they cause an increased risk.

This shows that food may have an important role in the development of lung cancer. "But it's still too early to say that if you change the food menu and eat more food with this vitamin, then you will change the risk of lung cancer in the future," he continued. Brennan concluded this after working with his team to study about 900 lung cancer patients. He divided his correspondence with most smokers, but also included about 100 other people who had never smoked and 260 who stopped smoking.
