This study comes on the heels of numerous studies which all draw the same conclusion: vitamin supplementation among a normally well nourished population has no positive effect on cancer prevention. Daily exercise, such as that provided by treadmill desks however does assist in both prevention and potential mitigation of various forms of cancers in both men and women.

The National Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School reported in November that Vitamins A thru E were ineffective in cancer prevention as well. These studies are casting a bright spotlight towards the most effective preventative measure available: exercise.

Exercise was touted as the most effective cancer preventative measure by the Harvard study and does not have to be strenuous or relegated to a gym to be effective. Sufficient amounts of daily walking have been shown to prevent colon, prostate and breast cancers as well as diabetes and heart disease.

Treadmill desks have been shown to be an effective tool allowing employees to achieve the minimum sugges
