Vitamin C

U.S. researchers link the possible anti-cancer effect of anti-oxidants such as vitamin C to their inhibiting effect on the free radicals which promote tumors.

"The potential anti-cancer benefits of anti-oxidants have been the driving force for many clinical and preclinical studies," lead author, Dr.Chi Dang, of The John Hopkins University, said in a statement. "By uncovering the mechanism behind anti-oxidants, we are now better suited to maximize their therapeutic use."
