Antioxidants Reduce Risk Of Atopic Dermatitis In Children - Study

January 27, 2010: 06:16 AM EST
Korean researchers have found that increased consumption of beta-carotene, vitamin E, folic acid, and iron may reduce the risk of a form of eczema known as atopic dermatitis (AD), marked by itching, redness and scaling. The researchers examined the antioxidant content of the diets of AD and non-AD children aged 4 to 6 years, as well as fat-soluble vitamins (retinol, a-tocopherol, and ß-carotene) and vitamin C in blood samples. Though they found no AD risk relationship for vitamin C, they did find that AD risk was reduced by 56 percent with beta-carotene, 67 percent with vitamin E, 63 percent for folic acid, 61 percent with iron, 36 percent with serum a-tocopherol and 26 percent with retinol.
