Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / November 2006C tomato sauce
I am reading some guidelines for an healthy diet for prostate cancer and came across this, regarding lycopene intake: ¾ C tomato sauce. Can someone please instruct me to the meaning of C? Many thanks. Just > I am reading some guidelines for an healthy diet for prostate cancer > and came across this, regarding lycopene intake: ¾ C tomato sauce.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Just Dear Just-- Sure, it sounds like cup but since tomato sauce comes out of a can maybe they mean can. You never know. (saves a step to pour it straight from can to recipe). You sound like a real virgin in the kitchen and I am LOL because I just remembered an episode of the three stooges in which Moe, Larry and Curly are hired to cater a fancy meal and they throw everything into the recipe -- including the cans. I 'm not one to talk since i practically need a gps to FIND my kitchen. I graduated from "How to Boil Water" at New School Adult Ed program about 15 years ago but it just didn't take i'm afraid. I have no idea how to prepare tomato sauce. Can spaghetti sauce do the same thing? (Does it have to contain a certain ingredient?) Also what about drinking tomato juice instead? My biggest problem in this dept right now is that JJK won't drink his pom juice. He seems to lack some instinct for self-preservation because one thing i have never heard is a man refusing to drink this elixir. > > I am reading some guidelines for an healthy diet for prostate cancer > > and came across this, regarding lycopene intake: ¾ C tomato sauce.

I am thrilled to hear that.] As weird as this sounds, is it possible for a man to develop a psychological resistance to drinking pom juice. You see, as far as JJ is concerned this pca problem doesn't even exist. He is a denier by nature. When i first mentioned pom juice to J he was astounded : He said, "the pca is all over with. What's the point of drinking it now."? Naturally i am worried because of his 4+3.Gl. Thanks, Leah Sorry: this accidentally posted twice. A stray flick of the finger did it. I also wonder about the necessity for a prostate cancer fighting diet since my treatment seems to have (so far at least) worked. But I'm trying to eat healthy anyway. I drink a glass of V8 every day and I take vitamin supplements. I'm probably fooling myself but, as long as I don't overdo it by taking more than recommended doses, I don't see how it can hurt. We know that a certain percentage of men who seemed okay after treatment will develop recurrent cancer later on. I don't want to be in the percentage or, if I am, I want it to happen later rather than sooner. As for pomegranate juice, I don't know if this works as well, and don't really know if pomegranate juice really works at all, but you can buy cheap pomegranate extract capsules. We get them from Puritan's Pride.

I'm sorry to say that you can eat as much or as little of anything you want, but it's not going to change a thing. SignatureJK Sinrod www.SinrodStudios.com www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com |
