The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), suggests that an increase in vitamin K2 may lower you risk for prostate cancer by 35%. These findings were taken from a study that was done on 11,319 men and will be published in the American Journal of Medicine. Vitamin K has not been studied in direct relation with prostate cancer and many are applauding the research and findings. "The researchers documented 268 incident cases of prostate cancer during the 8.6 years of follow-up. Of these, 113 cases were classified as advanced prostate cancer. While no reduction in the risk of prostate cancer was observed for vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), an increased intake of all menaquinones (vitamin K2) was associated with a 35 per cent reduction in risk."
This is a great finding; men you can lower your risk by just adding certain foods that contain Vitamin K. Also, taking a supplement my be beneficial if you cannot intake the amount of vitamin K through your diet. So men, eat foods that are rich in Vitamin K!
