News: March 24, 2010 Dietary vitamin K2 intake found to be inversely related to cancer risk A new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (March 24, 2010) reveals that vitamin K2, and not K1 has a role in the prevention of a variety of different forms of cancer. In the prospective EPIC-Heidelberg cohort study, over 24 thousand participants aged 35-64 y were monitored for cancer incidence and mortality for 10-14 years. The association of K2 intake with mortality was stronger than with cancer incidence, with a statistically significant risk reduction of 28% for the highest quartile of vitamin K2 intake. Cancer risk reduction was more pronounced in men than in women, mainly because of the strong associations with prostate and lung cancer.
