Indication: Lung cancer

Source: Am J Epid, 2002;156:536-547.

Research: Researchers analyzed the diets, as well as blood levels of some nutrients, of approximately 27,000 male smokers, ages 50-69 at the start of the study. They tracked correlations be­tween specific carotenoids and the risk of developing lung cancer.

Results: Men with high a intake of fruits and vegetables and foods containing lycopene, lutein/zeaxanthin, beta-cryptoxanthin and total carotenoids were less likely to develop lung cancer after up to 14 years of follow up. Men with high blood levels of beta-carotene and vitamin A also had a lower risk of developing lung cancer. Men consuming large amounts of lycopene were the least likely to develop lung cancer.
