Researchers from The University of Texas have determined that diets high in saturated fat may increases the progression of prostate cancer. Reuters reports: In a follow up study of men who had their cancerous prostates removed, researchers found that men who consumed higher amounts of saturated fat -- mostly from steaks, burgers, cheese, ice cream, salad dressings, and mayonnaise -- were nearly two times more likely to experience disease progression after surgery than men with lower saturated fat intake."Diet before surgery, especially saturated fat, may modulate patient outcome after surgery," Dr. Sara S. Strom, who was involved in the study, told Reuters Health.Strom and colleagues also found significantly shorter "disease-free" survival times among obese men who ate high amounts of saturated fat compared with non-obese men consuming diets low in saturated fat.These results expand upon the team's previous finding linking obesity with prostate cancer progression "and suggest that saturated fat intake plays a role in prostate cancer progression," the researchers note in the International Journal of Cancer.Strom's group used standard food questionnaires to assess the saturated fat intake of 390 men during the year before surgery for localized, or "organ-confined" prostate cancer. The researchers also assessed the men's medical and family history for other risk factors for disease progression. The diet-prostate cancer connection is no mystery. I asked Dr. Fuhrman for his thoughts on this study. Take a look: Excellent nutrition has been scientifically documented to reduce the risks of prostate cancer and extend lifespan from all cause mortality. This is in direct contrast to medical testing and medical intervention, for prostate cancer, which has not been proven to significantly extend the lifespan. And here Dr. Fuhrman offers up some daily diet tips to help prevent prostate cancer: Eat a plant-based diet. Eat less little white flour or refined sweets. Do not drink milk, especially skim milk. Eat tomatoes, tomato sauce daily Eat salad and leafy green vegetables daily; both raw and cooked. Avoid processed meats and animal fats; limit other animal products under 15 ounces weekly. Eat more fresh fruits, vegetables, beans, seeds and nuts and less grains.Fore more prostate cancer news, check out DiseaseProofâs prostate cancer category.Sunny L.
