A study involving over 4700 subjects published in Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention (January 1, 2008, Volume 17) looked at vitamin B₆intake and the incidence of colorectal cancer. The study found that there was an inverse, dose-depended association between vitamin B₆ intake and the incidence of the disease. A high vitamin B₆ intake can reduce the risk of the disease by 19%. In the Journal of Nutrition (Volume 137, Sept. 2007) research was published that showed a moderate deficiency of riboflavin (B₂), folic acid, B₆and B₁₂ may increase the risk of damage to the DNA, thus increasing the risk of colon cancer.
