A warning has been signaled, in effect, for prostate cancer patients in a new report where they have revealed* that, although a class of substances called stilbenes 'which include the anti-breast cancer drug tamoxifen] destroy breast cancer cells, they have "demonstrated a protective effect on prostate cancer cells." That is, they protect these cancer cells. They note that the widely heralded ingredient in grapes and wine, resveratrol, is a stilbene.

DETAILS: This substance is sold separately in pill and capsule form by health food stores and mail order vitamin distributors. The degree of risk would be expected to be increased for prostate cancer patients if taken in this concentrated form rather than by eating grapes.
