The study also found that only a subgroup of men was
at increased risk of prostate cancer from taking vitamin E. Among men with low selenium status at baseline, vitamin E supplementation increased their total risk of prostate cancer by 63 percent and increased the risk of high - grade cancer by 111 percent.
Over the past 18 years, the section has been involved in the discovery of several genetic risk loci for human cancers, including our evidence that rare DNA variants in the RNASEL and HOXB13 genes
strongly increase the risk of prostate cancer and that RGS17 is a gene that acts in conjunction with cigarette smoking to influence lung cancer risk.
The genetic findings thus also confirm the link between hair loss and
an increased risk of prostate cancer.
Men with low levels of the male sex hormone testosterone need not fear that testosterone replacement therapy will
increase their risk of prostate cancer.
Although several longitudinal studies have shown
no increased risk of prostate cancer incidence associated with testosterone use, no population - based studies have examined the association of high - grade prostate cancer with testosterone exposure beyond one year.
While use of the study supplements stopped, men were still followed and after an additional two years the men who took vitamin E had a statistically significant 17 percent
increased risk of prostate cancer.
Men who carry a BRCA mutation may also have
an increased risk of prostate cancer, melanoma and pancreatic cancer.
Low testosterone levels can lead to complications such as erectile dysfunction, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and has been linked to
increased risk of prostate cancer.
Prostate Cancer: In an analysis of more than 8,000 healthy men, researchers found that eating refined carbohydrates may
increase the risk of prostate cancer, while this Italian study concluded that refined cereals and sugars boosted prostate cancer risk.
Dr. Reiss also supports testosterone therapy for men who have low levels, even if they have
an increased risk of prostate cancer as the correlation between testosterone and prostate cancer is weak.
It is this synthetic form of vitamin E that has previously been linked to
increased risks of prostate cancer, along with other ill effects such as a hemorrhagic stroke and pneumonia.3 The Toxicology Data Network also lists numerous health problems related to synthetic vitamin E at various dosages.4
And, in a study involving over 8,800 men published in Oncological Report, researchers analyzed information from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and found that low boron intake was associated with
an increased risk of prostate cancer.
10 It is this synthetic form of vitamin E that has been linked to
increased risks of prostate cancer, along with other ill effects such as a hemorrhagic stroke and pneumonia.11
Some studies show that people who consume high amounts of calcium might have
increased risks of prostate cancer and heart disease, but more research is needed to understand these possible links.
However, analyses of several population studies show that higher intake of DHA is linked with
an increased risk of prostate cancer.
Much of this concern appears to be linked to a 2004 review of several observational studies that found
an increased risk of prostate cancer — although a reduced risk for heart disease — in men with higher intakes of ALA (7).
Like other hormones, testosterone should stay within a certain range, and there's a risk that using pine pollen supplements may make your hormone levels too high and lead to side effects such as blood clots in the legs, cardiovascular problems,
increased risk of prostate cancer, acne, sleep apnea, and low sperm count.
A separate Harvard study, this one including 47,871 men, had shown much the same thing — men having two or more milk servings each day had a 60 percent
increased risk of prostate cancer.
A Harvard study of 20,885 men published in 2001 showed that men having 2 1/2 servings of dairy products daily had a 34 percent
increased risk of prostate cancer, compared with men consuming little or no dairy products.
Those who consumed more than 2.5 servings of dairy products per day were at a 12 percent
increased risk of prostate cancer, compared with those who -LSB-...]
Dairy products can
increase the risk of prostate cancer, according to a new study published in the Journal of Nutrition.
Those who consumed more than 2.5 servings of dairy products per day were at a 12 percent
increased risk of prostate cancer, compared with those who consumed less than half a serving (one serving equals an 8 - ounce glass of milk or 2 ounces of cheese).
Positive effects of dairy on cardiovascular health, type II diabetes, and some cancers have been noted; however, there has been some evidence of
an increased risk of prostate cancer [16][17][18].
