(Update) Vitamin Supplements Won’t Help Prevent Prostate Cancer
November 19, 2008
Washington (dbTechno) - A new study has found that vitamin supplements such as vitamin C and vitamin E do not help prevent prostate cancer in men.
A recent study was carried out which included 14,600 male physicians from across the U.S.
They were split up into four groups with roughly 3,600 of them in each.
The first gorup took a 400 IU dose of vitamin E every other day and a 500 milligram dose of vitamin C daily.
The second group received just vitamin E every other day, along with a placebo.
The other set-up included a supplement of vitamin E with a placebo, while the fourth group took only a placebo.
What they found after 8-years went by was that the risk of developing prostate cancer was the same no matter which vitamin supplements were taken or not taken by the male physicians.
The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
