Cancer: Prostate

Cardiovascular - General

[Group B vitamins as new variables related to the cardiovascular risk] (Ital Heart J Suppl. 2005) ""The nutritional status and plasma concentrations of some group B vitamins, namely vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folic acid, have recently emerged as inverse correlates of cardiovascular risk Ä the simplest hypothesis to explain the relationship of vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folic acid on the one hand, and cardiovascular risk on the other is that this relationship is mediated by plasma levels of homocysteine."

Cancer: Prostate

Antioxidant vitamin and mineral supplementation and prostate cancer prevention in the SU.VI.MAX trial. (Int J Cancer. 2005) "Our findings support the hypothesis that chemoprevention of prostate cancer can be achieved with nutritional doses of antioxidant vitamins and minerals."
