Worryingly, a Baltimore study of aging men found that men with low selenium levels were FIVE TIMES more likely to get prostate cancer. It's the most common serious cancer in men.Now, one helping of mushrooms will give you about 30% of your daily requirement of selenium. It's even more true as we get older. One other finding in the Baltimore study is that older men seem for unknown reasons to have lower blood levels of Selenium. We are not sure why, but it's certainly makes sense for older men to regularly have a good helping of mushrooms. They're delicious anyway, so that should be no sweat! Also every man should be having pumpkin seeds in their muesli and enjoying tomatoes regularly. Phytosterols too help prevent another male misery: Benign Prostate hypertrophy. Mushrooms are also a good source of another anti-oxident mineral, zinc.
