Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / October 2006"Vegetables Increase Risk of Cancer"
(This appeared in psa-rising.com, will be pub in Cancer Causes Control, Nov. 06) "Healthy diet associated with pca diagnosis, study finds" The article says, "men who eat more fruits and vegetables are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. This finding from a large Los Angeles study to be published next month in the journal Cancer Causes Control suggests that well-nourished, health-conscious men are more likely to take psa tests for early detection of cancer. At the same time, diet did not protect them from developing this cancer nor did it affect the cancer grade." ."..Modestly increased risks of prostate cancer were observed in higher intakes of several food items including light green lettuce and dark green leafy vegetables." Some of us who eat whatever we want knew this all along, didnt we. Research does show that eating pink-red food is good for you. So keep on drinking that pomegranate juice boys. Best of health to you all.

It pains me that my tax dollars may have supported this "research." The authors left so many variables unseparated, so many biases built in, that nothing can be learned from the study. As the author's state, "A possible explanation for the positive associations with risk of several of the foods normally considered to be healthy is detection bias, since 'healthy' dietary intake was related to greater use of the PSA test." So what have we learned from this? Certainly not that healthy diet correlates with an increased - incidence - of PCa...Best wishes and good health, ron >> (This appeared in psa-rising.com, will be pub in Cancer Causes Control, >> Nov. 06) [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > Certainly not that healthy diet correlates with an increased - > incidence - of PCa...Best wishes and good health, ron I'd be willing to bet that men who wear suits are more more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Ditto men who are employed by large companies, men who drive a BMW or Lexus, men who fly first class, holders of gold or platinum credit cards, etc. -- in other words, men who are likely to have the money for very good medical care. Alex > well-nourished, health-conscious men are > more likely to take psa tests for early detection of cancer. Which, we presume, explains their higher incidence of diagnosed PC.

His tumour was originally midway on the Gleeson scale (a tiger?)and has been, thankfully, successful in his treatment. It is over a year ago now since he finished his radiotherapy....and no sign of his PC returning....just a consistently dropping PSA result (0.2 and falling). He took extract and juice both twice daily from his initial diagnoses, through his 'conventional' treatment, and continues to do so. We're all convinced of its benefit here. >....just a consistently dropping PSA result (0.2 and falling). Oh, I should point out that when he was diagnosed it was between 6-7. > I, my Mum and more importantly my Dad is totally convinced that Pomegranate > extract and juice complimented his radiotherapy and played a significant [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > his 'conventional' treatment, and continues to do so.

It also eliminated snowfall last winter, rendering my snow tires a waste of money so far. See how that works?

I've been saying this here forever. Diet or lifestyle doesn't have any effect on this particular beast. (By the way aren't well nourished men that eat more fruits & veggies, also more likely to eat more of everything else as well? Or conversely are men that eat less fruits and veggies more likely to eat more of everything else? I can make a case for either side)  SignatureJK Sinrod www.SinrodStudios.com www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com snip >> The article says, "men who eat more fruits and vegetables are more >> likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. > > I've been saying this here forever.

JK Sinrod If diet or lifestyle have no relevance for prostate cancer, how do you explain the differences in incidence of PCa among countries? Japanese men have much lower rates of PCa than American men, but their rates climb to American levels when they move here and eat American diets. (In one study, 10% of Japanese-American men 75 or older had PCa, compared to 5.4% of their counterparts in Japan.) Alex > snip >>> The article says, "men who eat more fruits and vegetables are more [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Alex First of all I think that even Leonard Evens would agree that a variation of a few percent is well within a normal tolerance range for any small sampling Alex. Are most of the men living here for a few years or 50 years? I certainly don't know the definitive answer, but my IQ tells me that when they are over here, they are exposed to dozens of other environmental issues that may be causative, other than eating McDonalds fries. Air and water quality, working conditions, stress levels, latex exposure, additives, different electrical current and even weather. Maybe it's something in Japan that prevents it rather than something here that causes it? Let's do a study of Americans that move there as well. Who knows? But I do know that lifelong vegans and organic health nuts, as well as world class athletes, get and die of PSA as well as the regular guys. I don't think diet has any effect on this thing.
