Excess Multivitamins May Increase Risk of Prostate Cancer
A new study conducted by researchers led by Dr. Karla Lawson at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda revealed an alarming correlation between excess multivitamin use and prostate cancer. Those who took more than one multivitamin supplement per day had a 32% HIGHER risk of cancer than those who took did not.
This study examined data on over 295,000 men over a period of 5 years. The result should be viewed as cautionary because they are not sure whether there is a causal relationship or just a correlation.
This seems to go against logic since other studies have suggested that phytonutrients such as lycopene in tomatoes tend to prevent protate cancer. In any case, this is adding to evidence that it is the consumption of vitamins and antioxidants in their whole form ie in vegetables, fruit and whole grain are the best way to prevent certain cancers.
