Do you also have the habit of catching Group B? Many people will use nutrient supplements such as group B to help replenish their energy and boost their spirits. However, a study was recently published online, which pointed out that male group B supplements can increase lung cancer risk by 40 to 50%. Huang Shumin, Nutritionist from Nantou Hospital of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, pointed out that this study was actually from the 2017 Clinical Tumor Journal, which mainly found that only if there are people who smoke and supplement high doses of vitamins B6 and B12, they may increase the risk of lung cancer.
Take six major types of foods every day and don’t be afraid of lack of vitamins
But why do you need to supplement with high doses? According to the eighth edition of "Reference Intake for National Dietary Nutrition", the daily vitamin B6 intake for adults over 50 is 1.5 mg, and B12 is 2.4ug. Huang Shumin Nutrition explained that this suggestion of intake refers to the suggestion of eating balanced diets such as beans, eggs, vegetables, five-meal vegetarian foods, fruits, fats, fruit seeds and dairy products every day. As long as you take six major foods every day, you can fully collect various vitamins.
Vital supplementation through food can maintain growth in a very small amount
Huang Shumin Nutritionist explained that the vitamins required by humans are divided into water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins. The former refers to vitamins C and B groups, and the latter refers to vitamins A, D, E, K, among which B groups include vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B6 , B12, leaf acid, etc., especially besides vitamin D, the human body can hardly synthesize vitamins by itself. At this time, it must be supplemented through food, and only a small amount can maintain normal growth and adjust physiological functions, etc., and can also help nourish nutrients and energy.
Difficult to supplement vitamins through diet. Supplementary supplements can be appropriately supplemented
Modern people are busy and it is not easy to supplement vitamins through diet every day. Especially during the illness period, supplementary supplements can be appropriately supplemented, but long-term or high-dose supplements are not recommended. Huang Shumin Nutritionist called out that this study only pointed out that vitamins B6 and B12, and no other B groups were studied. In addition, smoking would have caused cancer risk factors, so people do not have to worry about the occurrence of vitamin supplementation, but the best way to supplement vitamins is to be natural foods.
