Vitamin E From Nuts May Prevent Cancer
A form of vitamin E not found in most manufactured nutritional supplements but is plentiful in many nuts and seeds might halt the growth of prostate and lung cancer cells, according to a new study.
A research team led by Dr. Qing Jiang (pronounced "ching zhang") of Purdue University found that gamma-tocopherol, which occurs naturally in walnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, and in corn and sesame oils, slows the production of lab-cultured human prostate and lung cancer cells.
