Just a comment about Prostate Cancer and recurence. Ref. "SMART MEDICINE FOR A HEALTHY PROSTATE" BY Dr. Mark McClure;Landmark Urology,Raleigh.page 131.
Eliminate certain animal fats: beef,pork,all dairy fat(use no fat dairy products)
These are considered omega-6 fatty acid ie Archidonic Acid; the body converts these to hormone-like molecules, eicosanoids. Two types occur Prostaglandins & Leukotrienes. Further conversion promotes prostate cancer cell growth and also prevents prostate cancer cells from dying. Our health depends on some Omega-6, but only a small amount. This has been confirmed by clinical trials. For those of us who are confronted with recurence, modifying ones diet is the least we can do, to improve the treatment regimes.

Thanks for your comment!

There is definitely some research that suggests dairy and animal fats are not good for those who are trying to control cancer, however I don't think we know the whole picture yet. If someone wants to cut out dairy, I certainly think they can consume a healthy diet without it. However, I think it's possible to consume a healthy diet that includes some low-fat dairy if someone chooses that. Personally, I switch between soy and regular milk. I don't consume much animal protein, mostly in the form of fish.

I COMPLETELY agree that modifying one's diet along with being physically active, not smoking and maintaining a lean body composition are definitely things that should be high on the list for those who are actively trying to control cancer or reduce risk. Thank you for sharing this useful information! Also be sure to see my posts on prostate cancer diet part I and II.
