Statins guard against Prostate Cancer

There is a fascinating article that was just posted on Forbes.com. You can read it here.
According to the article:

Several new studies suggest statins help prevent prostate cancer and reduce the risk of erectile dysfunction.

"At this point in time, there seems to be mounting evidence that there may be a future role for statins in prostate cancer treatment or prostate cancer prevention," said Dr. Lionel L. Banez, from the Division of Urologic Surgery and Duke Prostate Center at Duke University Medical Center and lead author of one study.

From a Men's health standpoint, this is great news.
