Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 PROSTATE CANCER SURVIVAL IMPROVES WITH LOW-FAT VEGAN DIET, NEW STUDY SHOWS Men who increase consumption of cancer-fighting vegetarian foods and avoid foods that feed tumor growth, such as dairy products and meat, may significantly increase chances of living longer after prostate cancer diagnosis. High-fat, low-fiber diets raise circulating testosterone, estradiol, and insulin levels, which in turn may fuel prostate cancer cell growth. Among men with the highest intake of saturated fat, the risk of dying from prostate cancer is three times higher than among men with the lowest intake. http://healthy.net/scr/news.asp?Id=9371 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
