Intro:
To take the multivitamin or to not take the multivitamin: That is the question researchers are still trying to answer. Some new research studies on vitamins as they relate to breast cancer and heart health have offered conclusions that weren't crystal clear.
Conclusion:
With regard to vitamins and breast cancer: "Don't take all of these multivitamins with the intention that it will decrease breast cancer risk. Getting the vitamins and minerals from natural sources -- food source -- is the best," says Dr. Banu Arun. Both studies should be looked at in the broader context of research on the subject, which has consistently found no association between multivitamins and cancer, said Joanne Dorgan, epidemiologist at Fox Chase Cancer Center.
With regards to vitamins and heart health: The message is to eat foods that contain B-vitamins, say nutrition research Linda Van Horn. These include dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, dried beans, peas, lentils and kidney beans, and chickpeas. Many cereals are also fortified with the vitamins.
