\"\"New results from a study of more than 35,000 men reveal that taking vitamin E supplements increases the risk of prostate cancer among healthy men by 17 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n

The results were published online Oct. 11 in the Journal of the American Medical Association<\/i>. Ian M. Thompson Jr., M.D., director of the Cancer Therapy & Research Center (CTRC) at the UT Health Science Center, is one of the study\u2019s authors.<\/p>\n

“The impact of this study is profound,” Dr. Thompson, said. “Over 200,000 men per year are diagnosed with prostate cancer. The fact that vitamin E increases this risk by almost 20 percent means there is a potential for a substantial reduction in the number of men diagnosed with prostate cancer \u2013 simply by a change in supplements.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
