There are continual advances in science (as well as always some controversy), but new research supporting vitamin C's potential in preventing the advancement of several forms of cancer is some of the most promising and remarkable that's emerged in a while.

More specifically, vitamin C may stop leukemia stem cells from multiplying, which could prevent certain forms of blood cancer from advancing, the journal Cell reveals,1 along with pancreatic, colon, liver and ovarian cancers, according to several other notable medical journals and scientific reports.

An enzyme known as Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2 (TET2) has the ability to make stem cells "morph" into mature, normal blood cells that will eventually expire like normal cells. Stem cells, the study explains, are "undifferentiated cells that have not yet gained a specific identity and function."2

This ability helps patients with some blood cancers, including acute and chronic leukemia, because their stem cells haven't been directed to mature, per se.
