Listen in because what you know helps ensure healthy choices you can live with. Today on Healthy Talk, you wanted to know:I came across the headline on Fox News Health that supplements may raise and now lower cancer risk. Do you know anything about this?Dr. Mike has heard about this and has a rebuttal that he wants you know to know about. The first thing he wants you to know is that these statements the media is headlining have not come from research, but rather a lecture presentation. There's no new evidence that was presented in Dr. Tim Byers lectures about this, but instead studies from over 20 years ago that have several flaws and which doctors have revisited.One of the studies Dr. Byers described was a 1996 study in which synthetic beta carotene vitamin A increased lung cancer risk in some people. However, Dr. Byers failed to mention that the participants in the study were smokers and also asbestos workers.Dr. Mike has over 13 clinical trials that show benefits for heart disease, cancer, and brain health with all kinds of supplements.It's hard as a consumer to completely trust everything that you read and watch on the news. Most studies have flaws, which is why it's so important that you look at all the research available so you get all the facts on studies.If you have a health question or concern, Dr. Mike encourages you to write him at askdrmikesmith@radiomd.com or call in, toll-free, to the LIVE radio show (1.844.305.7800) so he can provide you with support and helpful advice.
