Fifteen-Year Effects of Helicobacter pylori, Garlic, and Vitamin Treatments
on Gastric Cancer Incidence and Mortality - J Natl Cancer Inst. 2012 Jan
23 - "Garlic and vitamin treatments were associated
with non-statistically significant reductions in gastric cancer incidence
and mortality. Vitamin treatment was associated with statistically
significantly fewer deaths from gastric or esophageal cancer, a secondary
endpoint (HR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.30 to 0.87; P = .014)"

Dietary
total antioxidant capacity and gastric cancer risk in the european
prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition study - Int J
Cancer. 2011 Nov 9 - "A high intake of dietary
antioxidant compounds has been hypothesized to be an appropriate strategy to
reduce gastric cancer (GC) development. We investigated the effect of
dietary Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) in relation to GC in the European
Prospective Investigation into Cancer (EPIC) study including 23 centers in
10 European countries ... Dietary antioxidant intake is associated with a
reduction in the risk of GC for both FRAP (adjusted HR 0.66; 95%CI
(0.46-0.95) and TRAP (adjusted HR 0.61; 95%CI (0.43-0.87) (highest vs.
lowest quintile). The association was observed for both cardia and non
cardia cancers. A clear effect was observed in smokers with a significant
reduction in GC risk for the 5(th) quintile of intake for both assays
(highest vs. lowest quintile: adjusted HR 0.41; 95%CI (0.22-0.76) p for
trend <0.001 for FRAP; adjusted HR 0.52; 95%CI (0.28-0.97) p for trend
<0.001 for TRAP) but not in never smokers. In former smokers the association
with FRAP intake was statistically significant (highest vs. lowest quintile:
adjusted HR 0.4; 95%CI (0.21-0.75) p<0.05); no association was observed for
TRAP"

Flavonoids, proanthocyanidins, and the risk of stomach cancer - Cancer
Causes Control. 2010 Jun 3 - "Strong inverse
relations were found for proanthocyanidins. The OR was 0.44 (95% CI,
0.25-0.76) for monomers and dimers combined and 0.36 (95% CI, 0.21-0.63) for
polymers with three or more mers. Further adjustment for fruit and
vegetables, or vitamin C, did not materially change these associations. This
is the first epidemiological study to suggest that dietary proanthocyanidins
have a favorable role on gastric cancer risk"

Reductions In Cancer And Overall Mortality Persist 10 Years After Vitamin
And Mineral Supplementation - Science Daily, 4/2/09 - "Individuals
who took a dietary supplement called "factor D", which included selenium,
vitamin E, and beta-carotene, continued to have lower gastric cancer and
overall mortality 10 years after supplementation ceased compared with
individuals who did not take the supplements ... Individuals who took factor
D continued to show benefits, with a 5% reduction in overall mortality (from
a cumulative mortality of 33.62% of participants not taking factor D to
32.19% of participants taking factor D) and an 11% reduction in gastric
cancer mortality (from a cumulative gastric cancer mortality of 4.28% in the
no-factor D group to 3.84% in the factor D group)"

Grape Extracts May Be Effective Against Harmful Gut Bacteria - Science
Daily, 3/4/09 - "H. pylori is the bacterial agent
most commonly associated with peptic ulcers, gastritis, mucosa-associated
lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and gastric cancer ... The antibacterial effects
of extracts from red, white, black and muscadine grapes as well as the pure
compounds resveratrol, ellagic acid, and myricetin were tested for anti-H.
pylori activity using agar dilution, laser scanning microscopy and cell
proliferation. Following 24 hour treatment, results showed that muscadine
grape skin extract had the highest anti-H. pylori effect, followed by
muscadine grape synergy and seed extract. Additionally, two of the three
compounds, resveratrol and ellagic acid, also inhibited H. pylori" -

Vitamin A, retinol, and carotenoids and the risk of gastric cancer: a
prospective cohort study - Am J Clin Nutr. 2007 Feb;85(2):497-503 -
"During a mean 7.2-y follow-up, 139
incident cases of gastric cancer were diagnosed. High intakes of vitamin A
and retinol from foods only (dietary intake) and from foods and supplements
combined (total intake) and of dietary alpha-carotene and beta-carotene were
associated with a lower risk of gastric cancer. The multivariate relative
risks for the highest versus lowest quartiles of intake were 0.53 (95% CI:
0.32, 0.89; P for trend = 0.02) for total vitamin A, 0.56 (95% CI: 0.33,

- Nutrients May Influence Risk Of Stomach And Esophageal Cancer - Intelihealth, 11/8/01 -
"patients who consumed high amounts of fiber, beta-carotene, folate, and vitamin C (found primarily in plant-based foods) were significantly less likely to develop cancer of the esophagus or stomach than those who consumed low amounts of these nutrients. Those who took
vitamin C supplements were also less likely to develop certain types of stomach cancer. In contrast, those who consumed high amounts of foods of animal origin, including dietary cholesterol, animal protein, and vitamin B12, were significantly more likely to develop these cancers than those who consumed low amounts
of such nutrients"
