Exclusive translation: A new study finds that antioxidants such as Vitamin C activate a mechanism that stimulates the growth of cancerous tumors.
Antioxidants
Researchers at Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet examined the mechanisms of angiogenesis and found that antioxidants play an unexpected role in the growth and spread of tumors. According to “new Atlas”.
“We found that antioxidants activate a mechanism that causes cancerous tumors to form new blood vessels, which is surprising because antioxidants were previously thought to have a protective effect,” explained Martin Bergo, an author of the study.
Blood vessels
He continued, “The new blood vessels feed the tumors and can help them grow and spread.”
And Bergo added, “There is no need to be afraid of the antioxidants found in regular food, but most people do not need additional amounts of them.”
He added, it could be harmful to cancer patients and people who have a high risk of developing cancer.
