Under the headline 'Excess vitamin E raises prostate cancer risk', this paper's medical correspondent reported on a U.S. study of vitamin E and selenium supplements.The former (naturally found in nuts, spinach and broccoli) is taken to boost the body's immune system, the latter (found in fish and meat) to ward off heart disease.
Because these supplements are so widely used, but have previously been linked to increased incidence of prostate cancer -- a disease which kills one man every hour in the UK -- scientists have now carried out the most intensive investigations into this link.
