00:00Did you know the supplements you take to stay healthy might actually increase your risk of cancer?

00:05Oncology dietician Nicol Andrews is sounding the alarm on popular vitamins like C, B6, and B12,

00:12especially in high doses.

00:14Many people take these supplements hoping to boost their immune system or prevent cancer.

00:18But here's the twist. The body can't flush out the excess.

00:22Instead, it absorbs them into the bloodstream, where they can damage healthy cells and even fuel tumor growth.

00:28In one study, lung cancer tumors actually grew faster in patients taking high doses of vitamin C and E.

00:35Another study found that male smokers taking B6 and B12 had four times the risk of developing lung cancer.

00:42Why? Because high doses can create free radicals, unstable molecules that attack your DNA.

00:48And shockingly, most supplements are poorly labeled.

00:51So you might not even know how much you're really taking.

00:54Experts say unless your doctor prescribes it, stick to food.

00:58Oranges, meat, eggs, and fish can give you all the nutrients you need, without the risk.

01:03Sometimes more isn't better. It's dangerous.
