Acetaminophen, best known as Tylenol, has been shown to cut the risk prostate cancer 38 percent, if taken daily for five years, according to the American Cancer Society. The Los Angeles Times reports that the same drug, sold under many brand names, appears to reduce the risk of aggressive prostate cancer by 51 percent. The American Cancer Society study is based on data from the Cancer Prevention Study II Nutrition Cohort, which gave 78,485 men questionnaires about food consumption and drug use in 1992 and every two years thereafter. The researchers found that men who had been using acetaminophen daily for at least five years were less likely to have developed the tumors, but those who took it for shorter periods of time received no benefit.
