New reseach from the U.S. National Cancer Institute.
“Taking them more than seven times a week was associated with a 32 percent increased risk of advanced prostate and for fatal prostate cancer [it had] nearly a doubling of risk, compared to men who did not take multivitamins,” said researcher Dr. Michael F. Leitzmann, an investigator in the NCI’s division of cancer epidemiology and genetics.
Victoria Stevens, a society epidemiologist:
“As for advice about multivitamins, the society has already advised against them — not just for prostate cancer, but in general.
We have our standard guidelines that don’t really recommend the use of multivitamin supplements. We feel that the best way for people to get their vitamins is through natural food sources. Pregnant women and others who might need them should use balanced, basic multivitamin supplements that give no more than they get from the daily diet.”
