Vitamin E and selenium can’t prevent prostate cancer. Now what?
Thursday October 30, 2008, 2008 (foodconsumer.org) — A study sponsored by the National Cancer Institute found that supplementation of vitamin E and selenium may do more harm than good in men with regard to the risk of prostate cancer.
The Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT) showed that taking vitamin E or selenium supplements or combination of the two did not seem to reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer in men age 50.
