Vitamin K lowers cancer risk
April 2nd, 2010
People with higher dietary intake of vitamin K are less likely to develop or die of cancer, particularly lung or prostate cancers.
Vitamin K exists in two natural forms: vitamin K1, or phylloquinone, found largely in green leafy vegetables, as well as some vegetable oils, such as canola and soybean oils; and vitamin K2, or menaquinone, for which meat and cheese are the primary dietary sources.
