A member asked:
Could glutathione linked to cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not that I know of.: Glutathione is an antioxidant substance. I know of no direct link between glutathione and development of cancer. Some scientists and physicians propose that glutathione may be 'protective' against certain forms of cancer. To my knowledge, this substance is poorly absorbed by the human GI tract, and the value of supplementation in the diet or as a drug is uncertain. Ask your doc before taking.
