Doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov spoke about the vitamin, which can provoke cancer and other problems. We are talking about vitamin A. Myasnikov told about this in the air programs “On the most important thing”.
According to the doctor, a study was conducted in the West, in which thousands of people took part. They were given beta-carotene, which is vitamin A.
“And in smokers, lung cancer began to grow sharply. The study was stopped right away, they didn’t even understand it. And they said: we do not recommend giving beta-carotene to healthy people, because you see what happens? Here people were without it, but with it Yes, they are smokers, but there too. After that, the attitude towards vitamins for the prevention of a healthy person has changed, “Myasnikov said.
The doctor stressed that vitamin A is quite dangerous in itself. According to Myasnikov, it should not be taken by pregnant women and people with osteoporosis.
“We need vitamins, but in a natural way. Even in smaller quantities. We do not know why chemical vitamins work differently than in foods. Either we did not find some important component, or because of the lack of fiber. Vitamin is absorbed at a certain point. And when it is in a carrot, then you ate it and the fiber releases the vitamin as a dispenser. The food lump in the mouth, then it mixed with the digestive juice, the reactions went, then it got into the intestines. And maybe this is how vitamins are absorbed, where it should be. There is a difference for sure, “- said the doctor.
Myasnikov also added that in the West, doctors now consider it unethical to prescribe vitamins to a healthy person for prevention.
