Vitamin K cause Prostate Cancer in Men

The prostate cancer findings come a day after publication of a study that raised questions about the effects of common vitamin and mineral supplements in older womenBlack men over the age of 50 who take vitamin E may have a higher risk for prostate cancer, according to a new study.

 

Scientists report that the risk of prostate cancer in healthy men can potentially increase even after they stop taking the supplements.

In 2008, after the men had been taking their pills for about 5½ years, researchers told them to stop, a year earlier than planned. An interim analysis had shown that vitamin E wasn’t reducing prostate cancer risk and might raise it, although that observation could have been attributed to chance.

. That 19-year study of nearly 39,000 women linked supplement use to a higher risk of death.

Black men over the age of 50 who take vitamin E may have a higher risk for prostate cancer, according to a new study.

 

If you find yourself not feeling so good after taking certain supplements and vitamin E, you should see your doctor.  Black men over 50 who take vitamin E actually have a higher risk for prostrate cancer and black women who take various supplements have a greater risk of dying.  USA Today reports:

Given the popularity of vitamin E for those 60 and over, the researchers wrote, “the implications of our observations are substantial.” Those studied took 400 international units (IUs) a day.
