Daily Multivitamin Causes Cancer

Multivitamin to increase resistance

Persons who take a daily multivitamin tablet together with their food were 20% more likely to develop breast cancer. That's what Swedish researchers say at least.

"Women take multivitamin tablets because they fear that they are eating unhealthy and therefor destroy their resistance. A multivitamin would suddenly solve everything," said the scientists. "Our research also shows that these tablets would extend the breast tissue. This may in the long run also lead to an increased risk, the researchers decided.
