the claim

Taking multivitamins increases the risk of prostate cancer in men.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that taking multivitamins increases the risk of prostate cancer in men?

Partly. One large prospective cohort found increased advanced and fatal prostate cancer risk only among men reporting excessive multivitamin use (more than seven times per week), with no association for localized cancer, while a case-control study found no significant increased risk from multivitamins without zinc. Neither settles whether ordinary multivitamin use raises prostate cancer risk generally.
