Vitamin E Helps Prevent Prostate Cancer, Ohio State University Study Shows.

Scientists led by professor Ching-Shih Chen investigate the effects of vitamin E on prostate cancer cells. They found that one form of vitamin E blocks the activation of the Akt enzyme, which is essential for cancer cell survival..

The experiment showed that the loss of this enzyme leads to the death of a malignant tumor cell.. No negative effect of vitamin E on healthy cells has been identified.

Thus, vitamin E has the potential to be a cancer prevention and treatment agent.. The results are published in Science Signaling.
