A recent study tracked 35,000 men to see whether Vitamin E would help prevent them from getting the prostate cancer.
In fact, the research found that the vitamin may increase men's risks.
Compared to those taking a placebo, the men who took a Vitamin E supplement had a seventeen per cent increased chance in getting prostate cancer.
Doctors admit that they do not know why Vitamin E increases men's chances for getting the cancer. But they discourage men from taking the supplement.
