Following a healthy plant-based diet after a diagnosis of prostate cancer may help prevent the disease from progressing or recurring, a study suggests.
Men who ate a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains had a 52% lower risk of cancer progressing and a 53% lower risk of recurrence, compared with men who had the lowest amounts of plants in their diet, the researchers found.
A plant-based diet may have these benefits because fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components, as well as dietary fiber that improve glucose control and reduce inflammation, she explained.
Also, this diet reduces potentially harmful exposures to animal-based foods, such as hormones and heterocyclic amines created during high-temperature cooking, which have been linked to prostate cancer in particular, Liu said.
Diets high in animal protein may also increase insulin resistance, while milk and dairy may increase levels of the growth factor IGF1, which has been associated with prostate cancer risk, she noted.
For the study, Liu and her colleagues used data from a study that collected information on more than 2,000 men with prostate cancer.
Over a median of seven years, the researchers found that men who reported diets that included the highest amounts of plants had a lower risk of both progression and recurrence, compared with men who ate the lowest amounts of plants. This association did not vary by age, walking pace or the severity of cancer.
"Post-diagnostic healthful plant-based diets, including vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains, may be associated with a reduction in risk of prostate cancer progression and recurrence, adding to a list of other numerous health benefits including a reduction in diabetes, cardiovascular disease and overall mortality," Liu said.

What about ze bugs?
People who consume chocolate or meat consume more iron than they need. People can remove iron from their bodies.
Women who can have children don’t have excess iron.
So does surgery,
I know someone who had a raging case of prostate cancer, stage 5, and was on his death bed. Someone gave him a broccoli crown, and he was cured. My word as a biden...
Someone should send this article to “Rachel” Levine.
So George Carlin was right about broccoli killing cancer.
It is obviously gluten that prevents the cancer.
It occured to me recently that the Reset, Tribulation, or whatever probably involves forcing one to eat what goes against the Bible. Theink about when Daniel would not eat the King’s meat or food. Bow before the giant statue, eat what we say, no buy or sell without approval.
So, crickets, mealworms may be the offeriing. The demonic ones mean business when it comes to defying God to the max.
A vegan diet causes extreme flatulence, known to contribute greatly to climate damaging co2.
No insulin resistance is the result of a high carb diet or a diet that combines high fat and carbs. Animal protein and fat has zero carbs.
We’re having fried okra tonight. Does that count? 😏
>Cows are herbivores and their meat is plant based.<
Unlike pork. Pigs don’t eat plants do they? Pigs will eat you up tho!
I still love me some bacon.
You don’t actually live longer.... It just SEEMS like it.
Veg out! Another study finds vegetarians live longer than meat-eaters
LOL!
“Diets high in animal protein may also increase insulin resistance”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gasps for breath.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blaming protein for what carbs do!
Those “studies” always assume “meat eaters” ALSO eat a ton of sugar and flour!
Cows and pigs eat grass, hay and other organic stuff so steaks and bacon should be okay.
Correlation doesn’t always equal causation as the saying goes. I could see many confounding variables in a study like this. I suspect many non-vegetarians consume much more in the way of processed foods than vegetarians, and I think many of the things added to those foods are responsible for causing health problems for example. Most of the difference in mortality was do to more cardiovascular problems in meat eaters, probably because of the choline content of certain animal proteins (red meat in particular), and choline can metabolize into TMOA which causes heart disease. Just avoiding red meat might wipe out the 12% mortality advantage difference in vegetarians. Non-vegetarians are also likely consuming more peroxidized fats from fried foods than vegetarians, lots of potentially confounding factors that probably weren’t taken into account in this study. Not to mention this study was financed by Seventh Day Adventist who may be biased in favor of coming to this conclusion.
