Vitamin A and Cancer
Cancer happens when abnormal body cells start to grow uncontrollably. Because vitamin A plays a key part in the development and growth of cells, it may help reduce the risk and prevent cancer. Scientists have found that consuming sufficient vitamin A is linked to a lowered risk of some forms of cancer, including bladder, lung, cervical cancer, and Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This effect is clearer in vitamin A coming from plant-based sources rather than animal-based foods. [3]
