DNA damage from micronutrient deficiencies is likely to be a major cause of cancer
Before we address the shocking implications of this article, we need to point out who the author is, lest everyone think he is some Joe Schmoe off the street. Dr. Bruce Ames was the developer of the AMES test, THE test for determining the carcinogenic potential of many substances. With that said, this article goes beyond any I’ve come across pointing to the importance of proper nutrition and vitamin supplementation on health. This article equates vitamin deficiencies (folic acid, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, niacin, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, iron, or zinc) with radiation damage for causing DNA damage leading to cancer. No longer can mainstream medicine say that nutrition is not important in clinical practice. It may actually be the most important and least addressed factor.
