Dietary carotenoids and lung cancer: a review of recent research

Article Abstract:

There is no conclusive evidence that carotenoids reduce the risk of lung cancer. Earlier research shows the protective role of dietary carotenoids in the context of lung cancer. More recent investigations of the yellow pigment commonly found in many vegetables and fruits have not confirmed this anti-cancer effect. Instead, the biological action of carotenoids poses many open questions.

Impact of nutritional deficiencies on resistance to experimental pulmonary tuberculosis

Article Abstract:

Dietary protein deficiency alters the reciprocal relationship between two key cells, the macrophage and the T lymphocyte. In vitro evidence shows that when their relationship is altered, so is the expression of resistance against tuberculosis. The detrimental effects of chronic, moderate protein deficiency, zinc and vitamin D are indicated.
