Prostate cancer risk may be cut significantly when alpha- and gamma-tocopherol, the two most promiment compononets of vitamin E, are present in high levels in the blood.
According to an analysis of 100 patients with prostate cancer and 200 who were cancer-free, among 30,000 Finnish men, those with the highest levels of alpha-tocopherol in their blood at baseline were 51 percent less likely to develop prostate cancer. Those who had the same high levels of gamma-tocopherol were 43 percent less likely to be stricken with the disease. The link between high tocopherol levels and the reduced prostate cancer risk was stronger among patients using alpha-tocopherol supplements than among non-users.
Bonnie - Another study in the hundreds that show the power of vitamin E. I have prescribed it for years and will continue to do so.
