Multivitamins in early pregnancy may stave off brain tumors

A recent study suggests women who take multivitamins early in pregnancy could reduce the risk of their child developing a brain tumour – giving further leverage for marketing to this important consumer group.

In the study, which appears in this month's issue of Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention (Vol 15, 1660-1667, September 200), the protective effect of multivitamins early in pregnancy was found to be weakly significant. However, as results were similar to more statistically significant results the Pennsylvania researchers obtained in 1993, they concluded this apparent benefit is unlikely to have occurred by chance.

Doctors already urge pregnant women to take multivitamins containing folic acid early in pregnancy to reduce the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida. As such, the finding that a multivitamin could a have anti-cancer properties for babies gives these types of easy-to-take supplements an added boost.

"Our findings suggest that the time close to conception may be a critical period in the development of these tumors," said Dr Bunin.

"However, most women do not yet know they are pregnant at this very early stage. That is why women of reproductive age are advised to take multivitamins to prevent neural tube defects even if they are not trying to get pregnant."

Which is the reason why everyone should be on multi-vitamin supplements. Even JAMA says so.

Vitamins C and E linked to lower kidney cancer risk

Increased intake of the antioxidant vitamins C and E could cut the risk of kidney cancer by 28 and 44 per cent, respectively, says a new study from Italy.


More than 80 per cent of all kidney cancers are accounted for by renal cell carcinoma (RCC). According to the charity Cancer Research UK, kidney cancer is the tenth most common form of the disease, with a male:female incidence ratio of 5:3. In the UK alone, around 6,600 new cases of kidney cancer are diagnosed each year, and the disease results in around 3,600 deaths.


"In the present study, based on a large dataset and with extensive information on major sources of vitamins and micronutrients in the Italian population, an inverse relation was observed between vitamin E and vitamin C intake and RCC risk," wrote lead author Cristina Bosetti from Milan's Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche, "Mario Negri".


The multi-centre case-control study, published in the International Journal of Cancer, assessed the dietary intakes of 767 renal cell cancer patients (494 men and 273 women) and 1,534 controls (988 men and 546 women) using a 78-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) from which micronutrient intakes were calculated.
