The largest study on multivitamin use showed that heart health and cancer risk is not reduced. An eight year study on postmenopausal women was completed by Marian Neuhouser, a researcher for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. The study included over 160,000 women over the age of 50, 42% of which were regular vitamin users. The results of the study showed that fairly equal numbers of vitamin users and nonusers developed various cancers, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular problems. Furthermore, almost 10,000 deaths occurred in both users and nonusers.
It is recommended that people maintain a healthy diet, both rich in fruits and vegetables and low in red meat. These habits are known to not only decrease cancer risk, but also reduce cardiovascular risk.
