I'll try and present what I know about metformin in a manner that does not belittle or deride what another forum contributor has posted and that they believe to be true.As far as I know :-Metformin does provide reduced risk of developing pancreatic cancer and also provides protection in lung cancer patients to name a few (its been noted in some studies it actually kills cancer cells). It also has a number of beneficial effects for ladies with PCOS (again some protective properties for cancer and some heart health benefits). Metformin particularly in people with ischemic heart disease has also been shown to be cardioprotective.Just google away for "metformin cancer",  "metformin protective cancer", "metformin heart" etc. no need to bog everybody down with endless lists (that may indicate my bias) when we can all use google and have a real good look around  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> From an anecdotal point of view both my wife and I have been informed by both GP and specialists of both the cancer and cardio protective properties of metformin. Thats what I know about it from my point of view but as we have all seen recently I am sure there will be evidence to the contrary  :lol: All the best Richard.</blockquote>
