Those men with high zinc intake were 74% less likely to die of prostate cancer than those with the lowest zinc intake so said the researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health .
Meyer, lead researcher discovered no obvious correlation between prostate cancer related mortality and death from other causes involving dietary intake or monounsaturated, saturated or omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
