Hi, I'm in the UK but often browse the New York Times. I came across an article which suggests older men should take it to reduce cancer risk even if they have not been diagnosed. I realise this has been discussed before but this is fairly new and is today's paper.Apologies if this article has been shown and discussed before - haven't had time to look in detail.
