The most recent study on folic acid and colon cancer reveals that a higher blood level of folic acid, a well known B-vitamin, appears to be an important measure in colon cancer prevention. There has been much debate about this in recent years. Bruce Ames, a leading cancer researcher, pointed out in the Journal of the American Medical Association, many years ago that, low blood folic acid levels increase risk of cancer in many tissues.

How Does The Aging Process Affect Prostate Disease?
At age 40 the prostate gland speeds up the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
High levels of DHT cause prostate cells to replicate rapidly causing prostate enlargement and increasing the risk that prostate cancer may emerge.
A such, from age 40 to 80 ninety percent of men eventually develop enlarged prostate symptoms and one in eight men in North America develop prostate cancer, making it the second leading cause o...
