sible for cancer development.
Writing in Clinical Cancer Research, Eng and his colleagues discovered that mutations in certain genes, responsible for energy production result in an accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that causes damage to cells and makes them more prone to becoming cancerous.
However, when vitamin E was applied to the cells with such mutations, ROS accumulation decreased, as well as the accompanying cellular damage.
These findings support the notion that vitamin E m
