Cancer: Exploring The Link Between Prostate Cancer And Multivitamin Use
Forget it.
That's my suggestion for anyone who's wondering what to do with the recent National Cancer Institute (NCI) study that links multivitamin
use with prostate cancer.
Forget the study, but everyone should make note of this key point that the study inadvertently points up: One very specific type of
multivitamin may be harmful when taken in large doses.
Cancer: Reality check
When it comes to reporting on alternative health care, the mainstream media acts like an excitable child who jumps whenever someone says, 'Boo!' Every little breeze sends them into Chicken Little mode, running in circles and shrieking hysterically.
Contrary to reports, however, the sky is not falling.
The NCI study compared supplement use and health records for more than 295,000 men over the course of five years. The average age of the cohort was 62. Results showed no link between localized prostate cancer and the use of multivitamins or individual vitamin supplements. But results DID suggest a link between advanced prostate cancer among men who reported 'excessive use of multivitamins (more than seven times per week)' when compared to men who took no multivitamins at all.
