Antioxidants for prevention of prostate cancer

An exciting research report from Toronto, Canada concludes that a combination of antioxidant supplements can prevent prostate cancer from developing. The study was done in mice, but the treatment is currently being studied in humans, as well. Mice with a predisposition to get prostate cancer were given a supplement containing selenium, vitamin E, and soy powder. 80% of the animals that received the antioxidants developed no prostate tumors, and the few that did had much smaller ones compared to animals that received a placebo.
