Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / August 2006Foods and supplements to avoid
There has been a lot of discussion regarding foods and supplements that improve our situation with PC. However, there is another thread saying alpha linolenic acid should be avoided. I'm wondering if there is anything else we should avoid. The only thing that jumps to mind is saturated fats. Can anyone think of others? Thanks, John > There has been a lot of discussion regarding foods and supplements that > improve our situation with PC.

I understand the point you are trying to make, but your statement is not true. There is no *proof*, but there *is* evidence that avoidance of certain foods---especially saturated fats---and the intake of other foods and/or supplements *might* make a difference. Whether or not one wants to act on the basis of that evidence is the choice they must make. > > ... > > There is no evidence that anything you do or don't eat will affect your [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > and/or supplements *might* make a difference.

However, like Claude, I have also read that people with high saturated fat intake, and people who are very overweight, do have higher rates of many cancers. A friend of mine used to quip that he didn't know whether healthy eating made life longer, or only made it seem longer. He ate everything he wanted, never exercised, and was way overweight. He also died of a heart attack at age 58. Alan > There is no evidence that anything you do or don't eat will affect your > PCa in any way.

VINEGARE SUPPLEMENTS April 11, 2006 Apple-cider vinegar tablets, widely marketed for weight loss and other programs, may not contain their active ingredient. Test results for eight brands of the tablets, published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, showed that they had as little as one-tenth the labeled quantity of acetic acid, the defining ingredient in vinegar. And there is not evidence the tablets work or are safe. ----------------------------- I have suspicions this is true for many, many claims. In spite of the FDA and pure drug laws, we are still living in the days of the "Medicine Man" coming into town in his covered wagon with a spiel of "miracle cure." > There has been a lot of discussion regarding foods and supplements that > improve our situation with PC.

But someone else posted a link about a metastudy suggesting that Vitamin E at 400 units or higher may increase the death rate from all causes. I'm still skeptical about that unit I learn more, but I thought I should note it. The argument for Vitamin E plus Selenium, I remind you, is that there is currently a clinical trial to see if it prevents prostate cancer. We won't know the results of that trial for a while, and in any case even if it prevents the development of prostate cancer, it may not help once it has been diagnosed. > There has been a lot of discussion regarding foods and supplements that > improve our situation with PC.

The two main factors are sex (male) and age. If you can avoid those your chances of getting pc are greatly reduced if not totally nullified. j. > The two main factors are sex (male) and age. > > If you can avoid those your chances of getting pc are greatly reduced if > not totally nullified.
