Multivitamin-prostate cancer link (Australian) 14-May-2007
Men who are heavy users of multivitamin supplements may be more likely to die from prostate cancer, according to a US study reported in the Australian. A study of almost 300,000 men over five years, conducted by the National Cancer Institute, suggests there is a statistical link between taking multivitamins and an increased risk of advanced prostate cancer. Of the 10,000 men who developed prostate cancer, those who took multivitamins more than seven times a week were found to be more likely to have died from the disease than those who did not take any supplements.

I dont think so either.
However there are CHers here who may be taking extra vitamins, a head up on the possible risk is a good thing to know.
BTW, what is a postrate?

From the MSN link:
Quote:| The researchers said the association was strongest in men with a family history of prostate cancer and men who also took selenium, beta-carotene or zinc supplements. |

What's confounds things is that the little vitamin bottles of supplemental selenium usually all say "for healthy prostrate care", or something like that.
