Another flurry of positive stories about the anti-cancer properties of ordinary mushrooms hit the health and science websites this month.
It was all in response to a scientific study emanating from Japan on the potential benefits of a mushroom diet in preventing the onset of prostate cancer in men.
A new cancer information campaign in the UK began this month too, publicising the statistic that a man dies every 45 minutes from prostate cancer in the UK.
Once again Stalker is wary of any health claims for specific foodstuffs, but the message from the scientific study certainly doesn't harm the image of the humble mushroom as beneficial for health.
