Fortunately, if the efforts of kiwi researchers come out bearing fruit then days are not far away when Vitamin C would be known not merely as a vitamin but also as a portent weapon against deadly cancer.
Research carried out by Margret Visser from the Christchurch School of Medicine has resulted in the flowering of this view. During the course of this study, researchers came across some such factors, which have given them to a reason to consider vitamin C as an anti-cancer vitamin too. In the words of Visser:
Vitamin C is fundamental in controlling many cell activities, cell death and even the growth of cancer cells in tumors.
It seems this very characteristic of Vitamin C has attracted attention of the researchers, trying to come out with a potent anti-cancer weapon. However, it is worth mentioning that this is not for the first time that vitamin C has been dubbed as anti-cancer vitamin because a study conducted in the year 2005 had also polished out its anti-cancer properties. However, those who want to suck up other health benefits from vitamin C should be aware of those health benefits. Find out what they are:-
