Diet & the prostate - Quick Studies - Brief Article
Nutrition Action Healthletter, Dec, 2002
A diet high in fiber, fruits, and vegetables and low in fat failed to alter PSA (prostate specific antigen) levels or reduce the risk of prostate cancer over a four-year period, say researchers at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. In a study of more than 1,200 healthy men, those who were randomly assigned to the fruit-and-vegetable diet were no less likely to have their PSA levels rise or be diagnosed with prostate cancer.
What to do: It's still worth eating a diet that's rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber and low in saturated fat to reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, obesity, diabetes, diverticulosis, and constipation. The fruits and vegetables may also cut the risk of cancers of the mouth, throat, stomach, and lung.
