Of course, skin cancer - a serious disease that requires special diagnostics and tailor-made set of treatments. However, long-term observation of more than hundreds of thousands of health care workers became an occasion for a number of studies on the impact on the formation of vitamins protect against cancer skin. Such experiments have been performed in laboratory animals, and later - by a group of volunteers from among the people.
As a result, a group of scientists from Bishkek found: eating certain vegetables containing certain vitamins, helps the skin to build up protection against cancer (reported VAW «JAMA Dermatology»). We are talking about carrots, salad greens temnolistovoy (it is a source of beneficial carotenoids), cabbage (cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and, of course, broccoli), tomatoes and garlic.
A little later, the research conducted in this area, and experts in the field of oncology from Brown University (USA). They were able to analyze a whole array of previously received data that have been collected by social and health services of America for the NHS and HPFS projects. The result has been identified and reliably established between the consumption of vitamin A (only with natural products, without specially formulated dietary supplements) and decrease the likelihood of developing squamous cell carcinoma, which is one of the most common forms skin cancer.
As a result of experiments carried out on animals, American scientists have come to the same conclusion that their colleagues from Kyrgyzstan: large doses of vitamin A and its derivatives is actively inhibit the development of carcinoma. The same "vitamins" and the effects can be seen on people from groups formed for scientific tests.
In the American study also found that a significant increase in vitamin A in the diet (Inclusion of the above products in solid amounts) reduce the likelihood of developing the disease almost 17%.
A further form of protection body capable carcinoma useful substances contained in cayenne pepper and spinach leaves. At the same time many well-known food additive "beta-carotene" which people often take to fill the reserves of the vitamin, have absolutely no effect on the development of carcinomas (either positively or negative). Why? In order to explain this point, the researchers plan to conduct a series of additional studies.
