A recent accusation against vitamin E is that somehow it increases risk of prostate cancer. (3) That is nonsense. If you take close look at the numbers, you will see that “Compared with placebo, the absolute increase in risk of prostate cancer per 1000 person-years was 1.6 for vitamin E, 0.8 for selenium, and 0.4 for the combination.” That works out to be a claimed 0.63% increase risk with vitamin E alone, 0.24% increase in risk with vitamin E and selenium, and 0.15% increase in risk for selenium alone.

Sex and cholesterol
What you may not know, or have not been told is that 80% of cholesterol is mainly produced in the liver and is a direct component of your sex hormones (testosterone, estrogen, progesterone). The major roll of LDL, the “bad” cholesterol, is to transport cholesterol from the liver to the gonads to make your sex hormones.
What do you think happens when you take a statin drug, like Lipitor, to block LDL production? Now you can’t transport cholesterol to the gonads to make sex hormones. Say hello to Erectile Dysfunction!
