Selenium, Vitamin E Do Not Prevent Prostate Cancer, Study Concludes

Still more bad news for vitamin makers and takers. From ScienceDaily:

Selenium, Vitamin E Do Not Prevent Prostate Cancer, Study Concludes:
"Findings from one of the largest cancer chemoprevention trials ever conducted have concluded that selenium and vitamin E taken alone or in combination for an average of five and a half years did not prevent prostate cancer, according to a team of researchers coordinated by the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) and led by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and Cleveland Clinic."
