Experts advise healthy people not to take vitamin supplements beta-carotene and vitamin E, which is often prescribed for prevention of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. This recommendation was published in the scientific journal Annals of Internal Medicine. Scientists conducted a systematic review of all studies on the benefits and dangers of vitamin supplements, minerals and multivitamins to prevent cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The evidence clearly show that the risk of lung cancer is significantly increased from taking vitamin supplements with vitamin E or beta-carotene.
