What is the most common form of cancer among men? Yup, prostate cancer! Makes men cringe just at the first word! Because it lies in a private place, men think it is embarrassing to talk about. Get your prostate checked when the doctor says it is time! You've heard the commercials, "Don't die from embarrassment!"
The tocopherol compounds are high in walnuts which have lead researchers to study that when they gave men 75g/day over 8 weeks the ratio of free PSA and total PSA increased (PSA - Prostate specific antigens). Anything to reduce the risk of prostate cancer is worth it! So, eat your walnuts!
Definitions of tocopherol: vitamin E a fat-soluble vitamin that is essential for normal reproduction; an important antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals in the body.
