Prostate Cancer Breakthrough?
Scientists* have found that vitamin E succinate, a derivative of vitamin E, causes prostate tumor cells to return to a normal state without causing any harm to normal cells.

DETAILS: This may not be the final word since the (successful) tests were performed on tumor cells, but not on animals or humans. So it is early to say they can be used for treatment. As a preventative one could say, "It can't hurt."

* Drs. Isreal, Yu, Kline and Sanders of the Division of Nutrition, U. of Texas, Austin, TX. 78712, in Nutrition and Cancer, vol. 36, 2000.
