RE: Antioxidants – Supplement during cancer? Nutritionist advice
Nice post! Totally agree.
Nonetheless there ARE antioxidants that has anti-cancer effects, in both preventing cancer AND slow down the cell division of the cancerogenic cells (maybe even stop?). Sulphoraphane in broccoli being one example.
But as you say, patients who are diagnosed with cancer, should listen to their doctors.
Indeed, there is some specifik antioxidants that regulates different systems in our bodies, like sulphoraphane, that has shown alot of promising benefits against cancer, mostly skin cancer during the initiation phase, and some other areas aswell. But sulphoraphane mostly help preventing and during the early stage of cancer. So yes, there are some specific, and hopefully alot more, antioxidants that show some of the anti-cancer properties. But they should not, currently, be seen as a replacement to chemotherapy or other treatments if not the doctors say so, which was the subject of this topic. To NOT try to make people mix them up. There will always be exceptions.
