MIXED PICTURE The evidence raises legitimate causes for concern but it's worth pointing out that other studies have found no such association. What's more, some studies directly
contradict these findings. Multiple observational studies have reported significant associations between vitamin E and a decreased risk of oesophagus, colorectal, lung, pancreatic, kidney,
and bladder cancer. A meta-analysis of 10 studies with 2976 patients and 254,393 controls observed a 13 percent lower risk of pancreatic cancer for the highest compared with the lowest level
of vitamin E intake among European populations. To stay on the safe side, reputable health bodies, such as Cancer Research UK, advise getting all the vitamins you need via a healthy diet.
