Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 re: I haven't read the whole article yet, but is it telling us taking large does of vit b12 is bad Hi, Not at all. Please excuse my off-hand comment. The information reminded me of alt med theories, such as to reduce sugar intake to slow cancers ... this is not true either. Vitamins and nutrients, including glucose, are needed for proper functioning. Alt med theories about restriction of such vitamins and nutrients are just that, theory - implausible at that. For example, our brains require glucose to function correctly ... restrict sugars to a degree that might starve cancers, you will starve your brain. Not that there's anything wrong with avoiding excess, of course, to promote good health. Karl Also: New Derivatives of Vitamin B12 Show Preferential Targeting of Tumors http://tinyurl. com/d9fz3c " Rapidly growing cells show an increased demand for nutrients and vitamins. The objective of our work is to exploit the supply route of vitamin B12 to deliver new derivatives of this vital vitamin to hyperproliferative cells. " PS I wonder if this information will give pause to those with cancers who take high doses of vitamins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
