Resumo: This work is a review of epidemiologic data about the relationship between vitamin intake and cancer prevention. Observational studies have strongly suggested an inverse association between fruit and vegetable intake and cancer risk, and a protector effect of C and E vitamins and carotenoids against some kinds of cancer. In intervention trials β-carotene was found to be deleterious to smokers, when supplemented in pharmacological doses isolated or associated with vitamin E or vitamin A. On the other hand, the consumption of antioxidants in physiological amounts may be effective against cancer, and this synergic action was observed in both in vivo model of carcinogenesis and epidemiologic intervention trial. It has been commended a generous daily consumption of fruits and vegetables, with amounts of C and E vitamins and carotenoids nearly to 150, 30, and 4 mg, respectively, and the vitaminsupplements are not recommended as chemopreventive agents against cancer.

Estudos observacionais evidenciam uma associação inversa consistente entre a ingestão de frutas e hortaliças e risco de câncer, e um efeito protetor das vitaminas C, E e dos carotenóides contra certos tipos de câncer. Resultados de estudos de intervenção, na prevenção primária de câncer, são contraditórios, sendo que em dois desses estudos o β-caroteno, suplementado em doses consideradas farmacológicas, isolado ou associado à vitamina E ou à vitamina A, mostrou-se deletério para tabagistas. Ao contrário, a ingestão de doses mais fisiológicas de antioxidantes parece ser mais eficaz, sendo que a ação sinérgica dessas substâncias na quimioprevenção de câncer já foi demonstrada tanto em modelo in vivo de carcinogênese quanto em estudo epidemiológico de intervenção. Como estratégia de prevenção de câncer preconiza-se o consumo de dietas ricas em frutas e hortaliças, que aportem cerca de 150 mg de vitamina C, 30 mg de vitamina E e 4 mg de carotenóides. A ingestão de quantidades mais elevadas, na forma de suplementos, não está recomendada.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2001-08-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/8976Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 14 No. 2 (2001): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 14 Núm. 2 (2001): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 14 n. 2 (2001): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/8976/6372Copyright (c) 2023 Cyntia Rosa de Melo SILVA, Maria Margareth Veloso NAVEShttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Melo SILVA, Cyntia Rosa Veloso NAVES, Maria Margareth2024-04-08T13:21:16Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/8976Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2024-04-08T13:21:16Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
