    This follow-up study did find a statistically significant increase. Men who took 400 IU of vitamin E every day during the study were 17% more likely than men who didn’t take the supplement to develop prostate cancer during the 7 years they were monitored by researchers.
This is from the American Cancer Society. Crap, I'd better send that to the spousal unit now. I think he takes 400 IU of E.

There was another large cohort study done in Finland, I believe, that showed that vitamin E correlated to earlier death in people already diagnosed with cancer.
