high doses of vitamin B12 and Folic Acid increase risk of cancer

[Guest guest]

Hi

Just wanted to bring your attention to relatively new study about Folic Acid and

Vitamin B12. It seems the same way folic acid supports fast growing cells of

developing fetus , it supports fast growing cancer cells.

http://www.rxlist.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=107743

A lot of us take vitamin B complex as a part or Dr.Berkson protocol. Most of

b-complexes have at least 800mcg of folic acid, double of what is recomended for

not pregnant adults. In addition a lot of food in USA fortified, adding even

more. What actually need to be taken with ALA if I understand correctly is only

one b-vitamin,Biotin which does not seem to be causing problem. May be we should

just supplement with Biotin and treat the rest of b-vitamins like vitamin D.

Check the level, if low supplement, if normal not supplement. Any thoughts about

it?

Thanks for that, our oncologist has my wife on 5mg of Folic Acid as well, so that's 5800mcg a day she is taking, I will be looking into that

I guess I'm not convinced that the study is the be all and end all on the

subject. The fine print there said that the rise in cancer was lung

cancer, and that 94% of the people who got lung cancer were smokers or

former smokers. Also, pointed out that lung cancer rates in the USA have

decreased in the period following mandatory supplementation with folic

acid. I would be interested to hear what you discover, .

I have already been thinking that I'm getting more folic acid than I need

because of the configuration of supplements I'm taking. But , the B's

are known to work better together, in general, and because they are washed

out of the body and not stored, they've been considered safe to supplement

with, and important to supplement because it's virtually impossible to get

enough B from the diet considering the levels of stress in today's society.

This may be off-topic, but since you mentioned high doses of Vit

B. I had my B6, B12 & folic acid levels checked. B12 & folic acid

normal but B6 was double the top of the normal limit of 24; it was 48 so high.

I did take am multi with food 1.2 hour before test since I was

told I didn’t need to fast, so that may be why Vit b6 was so high. My

multi has 2500% of RDA for B6.

I was reading that high B6 can cause nerve issues?

Is it even possible to have high B6 levels- I thought since

water soluble it would be excreted daily? Maybe since I had just taken it

before test; it had not be secreted yet?
