END Prostate Cancer with THESE Foods (Yum!)

There are more than 3 million men in American living with prostate cancer.

You don’t have to be one of them.

There are steps you can take to either reduce your risk of developing prostate cancer… or dramatically increase it.

And it all has to do with what’s on your dinner plate.

The association between diet and prostate cancer has existed for years, but a recent study has finally identified specific foods that can either reduce your risk… or increase it.

Researchers have suspected for years that a healthy diet could decrease the risk of prostate cancer, but no studies have been able to definitively prove the connection.

A research group in Canada set out to change that.

They administered a food-frequency questionnaire to 1900 men with prostate cancer, and 1900 men without, focusing on the previous two years.

Their goal was to describe the connection between certain dietary patterns and prostate cancer risk.

They identified three primary dietary patterns:

1. Healthy eating pattern, which included lots of fruits and vegetables, fish, nuts, yogurt, and whole grains.
2. Western sweets and beverages pattern, which included foods like pasta, pizza, pastries, chips, ice cream, milk, and soft drinks.
3. Western salty and alcohol pattern, which included foods like beef, chicken, hot dogs, breakfast sausage, and beer

You can probably guess the results—although I was surprised by part of it.

The healthy eating pattern was associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer—and the strongest connection was a lower risk of high-grade cancers.

The pattern was associated with an overall increased risk of prostate cancer.

And surprisingly, there was NO ASSOCIATION between the western salty and alcohol pattern and prostate cancer risk.

This study shows that if there’s one main food category to cut down on to reduce your prostate cancer risk, it’s high-carb, sugar-sweetened foods.
