Page 12 | Abby's Magazine - www.AbbysMag.com Nearly 30 years a er Nobel laureate Linus Pauling famously and controversially suggested that vitamin C supplements can prevent cancer, a team of Johns Hopkins scien sts have shown that in mice at least, vitamin C - and poten ally other an oxidants - can indeed inhibit the growth of some tumors ¯ just not in the manner suggested by years of inves ga on. The conven onal wisdom of how an oxidants such as vitamin C help prevent cancer growth is that they grab up vola le oxygen free radical molecules and prevent the damage they are known to do to our delicate DNA. The Hopkins study, led by Chi Dang, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of medicine and oncology and Johns Hopkins Family Professor in Oncology Research, unexpectedly found that the an oxidants' actual role may be to destabilize a tumor's ability to grow under oxygen- starved condi ons. Their work is detailed in Cancer Cell. "The poten al an cancer benefits of an oxidants have been the driving force for many clinical and preclinical studies," says Dang. "By uncovering the mechanism behind an oxidants, we are now be er suited to maximize their therapeu c use." By John Hopkins Medical Ins tu ons How vitamin C CAn PrevenT CAnCer LIKE CBD?
