A research study conducted by Dr. Albert Baskar Arul set out to prove or disprove if there was any correlation between taking a multivitamin and mineral supplement and the reduced risk of colon cancer.

This study, published in the Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, found that regular multivitamins and mineral supplementation might lower risk of developing colon cancer when exposed to carcinogens in animal studies.

The test group given multivitamins and mineral supplements were also fed a high-fat diet over a 32-week period, as well as the control group, which didn’t receive any supplementation. After both groups were exposed to the carcinogens, the control group developed pre-cancerous legions and formed tumors very rapidly. However, the group given multivitamins and mineral supplements saw an 84% reduction in the formation of any lesions and did not develop tumors of any kind.
