Women who consume an average 205 mg per day of vitamin C have a 63 percent lower risk of breast cancer than those consuming just 70 mg. Obese women who consume at least 110 mg per day have a 39 percent lower risk of breast cancer to those consuming just 31 mg. Higher vitamin C intake decreases risk of stomach cancer, in observational studies. In an 11-year follow up of 154,363 postmenopausal women, antioxidant status (vitamin C being one of the most potent antioxidant) decreased their risk of B-cell lymphoma, a subtype of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
According to researchers, these cancer stem cells are the thing that stands in the way of effective chemotherapy or radiotherapy for cancer treatment. The stem cells can resist the treatments, which makes it very difficult for people to recover. So, while vitamin C shows promise for cancer prevention, more importantly it seems to offer amazing benefits for those who have to go through cancer treatment.
