But it is already well established that methyl-enhanced diets provide health benefits, including the prevention of cancer. Methyl-enhancement reverses the effects of chemical carcinogens. People in modern society encounter numerous carcinogens throughout the day in food, water and air. A simple shower exposes one to significant amounts of cancer-causing chemicals that are readily absorbed through the skin. Environmental carcinogens inhibit methylation and increase one's cancer risk.
Age decreases methylation and increases cancer risk.
It is the next wave of health science. Methylation affects free radical status, and vice versa. Enhancing one without the other is like eating half the cake. Data show that methyl enhancers may take their place alongside antioxidants as important health and longevity enhancers. The key to better methylation is SAMe.
