James recommends rice bran and I was posting that the science backs him up as you see from the studies.It greatly helps with digestive health.... so does other resistant starch like potato and beans as well as just pure brown rice....it does not have to be just rice bran....rice will do as long as its brown rice.   [End]

Vitamin B12 (also known as cobalamine) is necessary for the growth and division of cells, particularly in the case of red blood corpuscles. This vitamin is not produced in the human body and consequently must be obtained from nutrition. It occurs primarily in food products derived from animal sources, such as liver, kidneys, meat, milk and eggs. It also is found in beer. Generally, the comparatively low amounts of B12 required are supplied by a normal diet. However, as many as 30 per cent of individuals older than 60 years may suffer from a deficit of B12.

Still if a man has a PSA over 40 there is a very strong chance he has deadly prostate cancer that has spread. If the PSA is over 20 the probability of cancer is around 95%. The math of those correlations holds up despite the occassional elevated PSA due to infection or inflammation. Enlargement and some other factors can elevate PSA but not usually to a great extent.Infection and inflammation can elevate PSA to greater levels but thats rare and not sustained. Most of the controversy aabout PSA has to do with lower level readings (almost always below 15). PSA does not save li ...
