        Can Diet Hold the Key??

 

Studies are underway on the effects of eating habits that correlate to higher than normal incidences of Prostate Cancer. Although evidence is still inconclusive, there are indications that populations with low-fat, high-fiber, high-soy diets are less prone to the disease.

There is also some evidence of a lower incidence of Prostate Cancer in men who eat lots of tomato-based foods, especially tomato sauce cooked with a little olive oil.

Surprisingly, there has been a fairly high correlation between families where breast cancer is found to also find prostate cancer. This may be attributable to the eating patterns of these families which produce a higher risk for developing these types of cancer.

Check out some of the other web links under "Other Information" for discussions on research which shows the apparent link between various diets and the development of cancer.
