Diets rich in vitamin K may reduce cancer risk
April 1st, 2010
People with a high intake of vitamin K from food may be less likely to develop or die from cancer, especially prostate or lung cancer.
Vitamin K can be found in green leafy vegetables as well as in some vegetable oils, meat and cheese.
Researchers in Germany found that about one quarter of those people with the highest intakes of vitamin K were 28 percent less likely to die from cancer than those who ate less vitamin K-rich food.
