Regular use of vitamin C reduces the risk of developing 11 types of cancer. Such a conclusion was made by scientists after conducting a corresponding study, the results of which were published in the scientific publication Frontiers in Nutrition.

These are malignant tumors of the breast, uterine body, esophagus, stomach, lungs, pancreas and prostate glands, as well as others types of cancer. However, this study has been criticized by some experts.

One of them is the nutritionist Gail Mayer. As the doctor said, the authors of the work did not specify in which specific form the volunteers who took part in the experiment took vitamin C.

The fact is that ascorbic acid, which comes from fruits and vegetables, has a significant advantage before BADs. In addition, fruits contain a large amount of fiber, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals, which also bring significant benefits to the body. Thus, the matter may not be in vitamin C at all, but in them.
