Extra vitamin E linked to prostate cancer, but diet still merits study ...
UCSF researcher remains optimistic about identifying dietary, lifestyle interventions that prove beneficial to health.
June Chan, UC San Francisco
Taking vitamin E supplements appears to increase a man?s risk of prostate cancer, according to a study that appears in the Oct. 12 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
A multi-institutional team of researchers reported findings from the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT), a study begun in 2001. They found that men age 50 and older who took 400 units of vitamin E daily were diagnosed with prostate cancer at a 17 percent higher rate than men who popped placebos.
UCSF?s June Chan, Sc.D., is no stranger to studies of dietary supplements and cancer that turn out to be a bust, including studies of vitamin E.
Earlier, as a graduate student, Chan investigated vitamin E. Working with Harvard epidemiologist Walter Willet, she found no epidemiological evidence that vitamin E prevented prostate cancer in men generally. However, the researchers did see a trend toward fewer prostate cancers in smokers.
Chan remains optimistic about identifying dietary and lifestyle interventions that prove beneficial to health.
?Healthy eating habits, regular physical activity, not smoking, and avoiding overweight and obesity remain important tools for us to prevent several major chronic diseases,? she says.
Supplements, despite promising signs from earlier epidemiological studies, have fared poorly in controlled clinical trials, in which participants are randomly assigned to different treatment arms. These controlled clinical trials remain the gold standard by which to evaluate any health claims.
An early disappointing milestone in anti-oxidant supplement research was a 1994 study of vitamin E and beta-carotene as a means to lower lung cancer risks among smokers. Daily supplementation with 50 units of Vitamin E had no benefit, while beta-carotene was associated with an increased risk for lung cancer.
However, in that same clinical trial researchers observed that there were more than 30 percent fewer cases of prostate cancer and prostate cancer deaths among the men who took the vitamin E supplements. This association spurred interest in launching the SELECT trial, focused specifically on prostate cancer.
Although there were more cancers among men in SELECT who took supplements, it?s too soon to say whether Vitamin E or selenium supplementation will lead to more prostate cancer deaths among the study participants, Chan says. More cancers does not necessarily mean more deadly cancers.
?The majority of these cancers were earlier-stage disease detected by PSA screening. It is likely that a fair proportion of these are indolent tumors ? meaning cancers that would not cause morbidity or mortality if left undiagnosed.?
The study is another reminder that more is not always better, Chan says. ?Supplements are not the same as eating a healthy diet,? she adds.

Rick Perry Dips His Toe into Obama Birther Conspiracy Theory (ContributorNetwork)
Texas Gov. Rick Perry talked about a conspiracy theory thought by many to have long put to rest. The birther theory is that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States but rather Kenya.
How did the birther conspiracy come up with Perry?
In an interview with Parade Magazine, Perry, answering a question as to whether he believed President Obama was born in the U.S. gave a less than definite answer in the affirmative. "I have no reason to think otherwise." Apparently Perry had just had dinner with Donald Trump, who was at one time a leading proponent of the birther theory. But Perry did suggest it was a nonissue and a distraction. Obama is president and that is that.
What is the birther conspiracy theory?
The birther theory suggests Obama was not born in Hawaii as is recorded in his biography but rather in Kenya. This controversy was stirred because of a lack of documentation, at least in the minds of the birther movement, for the place of the president's birth.
Why does the place where the president was born matter?
A confusion over whether or not Obama is a natural-born citizen led some people to believe Obama was not Constitutionally the president. It could be argued he was a natural-born citizen due to the fact of his mother being American, but birthers disputed this because she was a minor at the time. But a release of birth documentation in Hawaii, brought about largely by Trump's allegations, seemed to put the question to rest.
Why did Perry make a less than definite answer regarding the president's birthplace?
It is hard to understand what was in his mind at the time he made that answer. It is possible he is trying to attract the birther vote. As Hot Air suggests, Perry's answer has the potential of creating another round of conspiracy nonsense that would make Obama seem like a victim and Perry like an insane person. Fellow Texan Karl Rove has issued a similar warning.
Texas resident Mark Whittington writes about state issues for the Yahoo! Contributor Network.

Members of the Gospel Presbyterian Church in Schaumburg, Ill., were heading to their vehicles after services on Sunday afternoon when members of one family discovered a green canvas bag on the hood of their car, the Schaumburg Police Department said.
They looked inside, saw a teddy bear and towel, and turned the bag over to church officials, assuming another member of the congregation had left it behind.
But when other church members heard crying coming from inside the bag, they took another look and found a 7-pound baby girl of Asian ethnicity tucked underneath the teddy bear and towel, Schaumburg police said.
The baby, a few days old and in good health, according to police, was transported to a local hospital for observation. The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services will take custody of her once she has been released.
Illinois' so-called "safe haven" law allows parents to give up their newborn infants ? no questions asked ? if they feel they cannot provide for them.
But the law only provides parents with immunity from prosecution if the baby is left at a hospital, fire station or police station.
"We don't know who the mother is and are hoping that the public will help us identify her," said Sgt. John Nebl, public information officer for the Schaumburg Police Department.
"First and foremost we want to make sure that the mother is healthy mentally and physically, and that she voluntarily relinquished child."?
Hospital officials told Schaumburg police the baby likely was not born in a hospital because of the length of the unclamped umbilical cord. She appears to have been carried to full term, according to hospital officials.
Anybody with information about the baby or her mother is requested to call the Schaumburg Police Department Investigations Division at 847-882-3534.

New York exhibit celebrates 150 years of the tux
TUXEDO PARK, New York (AP) ? An exhibit celebrating 150 years of the tuxedo is on display in the upstate New York town that lent its name to the iconic garment.
The first short dinner jacket was made on London's Savile Row in 1860 for the Prince of Wales, who later became King Edward VII.
When American millionaire James Potter visited England in the 1880s, he obtained one of the new-style jackets and brought it back home to his country club at Tuxedo Park in the town of Tuxedo. The male members of the club followed his example, and the style soon spread to New York City, where it was dubbed the "tuxedo."
The London College of Fashion has brought its traveling tuxedo history exhibit to the Tuxedo Historical Society. It's on display through Nov. 2.
