Please Explain: Vitamin Supplements

from Please Explain (The Leonard Lopate Show) · host WNYC

In fact, things like vitamin C, can actually help cancer cells grow. We’ll be joined by New York Times Health Columnist Tara Parker-Pope and Dr. Gery Deng of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center’s Integrative Medical Services.
