Antioxidant-Rich Diets Linked to Up to 57% Lower Lung Cancer Odds in New Research - [your]NEWS

Two large observational analyses reported links between diets rich in six antioxidant nutrients and lower lung cancer risk. The findings, highlighted in October 2026 and attributed to NaturalHealth365, examined vitamins A, C and E plus zinc, selenium and manganese as a combined “antioxidant-rich” intake rather than testing each nutrient alone. Across two different studies, people with the highest antioxidant intake reportedly had 41% to 57% lower lung cancer odds than those with the lowest intake. One analysis used UK Biobank data and followed participants for up to 13 years; the other used a case-control design with recently diagnosed patients. However, the original journal publication could not be independently confirmed from the provided details.
