peperfarm, seems not a lot of conclusive evidence. I do know UFPTI is doing long term study on proton and photon cancer and treatments and are big on stopping antioxidants prior to, during, and right after radiation treatments. This is because antioxidants research has demonstrated some evidence of protecting normal cells from damage as well as cancer cells and that is the goal of radiation to damage cancer cells so they will eventually die off.

If you read one article will tell you it will help, then another says no evidence will. I am not a good nutrition person, meaning don't eat a lot of different things so I take supplements. I have read lycopene has much more influence on prostrate than saw palmetto. This is a natural bi-product of tomatoes. I love tomatoes but still take a supplement.

I do know my Mayo electrophysiologist wants me to take magnesium to reduce PVCs, and my heart failure doctor wants me to take C0-Q-10 to help with pain side affects from statin drugs, and fish oil to help with reduction on triglycerides and cholesterol .
