Vitamin B6 Linked to Lower Risk of Lung Cancer
Vitamin B6 is associated with healthy hair, skin, immune system, and blood flow. Authors of a new study in the Journal of American medical Association will publish a new link on June 16, to a lower risk of lung cancer.
The authors conclusion was that high levels of vitamin B6 and the amino acid methionine and folate, another B. vitamin, are associated with a lower incidence of lung cancer due to a possible protective effect of these compounds.
Another recent study has shown a similar protective effect of vitamin B6, against colorectal cancer. The best sources for vitamin B6 are animal proteins. Tunafish, turkey, beef, and halibut.
Although researchers are not sure whether vitamin supplements will give the same protection as food sources having high concentrations of these compounds seems beneficial.

Hey guys,
I read that these vitamins protect you even if you smoke tobacco or pot. B6 gives me extra energy and is one of the things that help me get cut for the summer.:-))
Great lookin out, it seems like they are always on the “verge” of a discovery but just barely miss it.
It’s hard to know what’s real anymore, they come up with soemthing like this every two minutes. **CROSSFIT RULES**
