A soybean compound called genistein has been demonstrated to control the spread of prostate cancer in mice.
Investigators from Northwestern University found that genistein decreased metastasis of prostate cancer to the lungs by 96 percent compared with mice that did not eat the compound in their chow - making the study the first to demonstrate genistein […]
Picked this one up from the Cancer Commentary: drinking five cups of green tea a day may reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 48%.
The Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study (JPHC Study) studied 49,920 Japanese men aged from 40 to 69. The participants completed a questionnaires at the start of the study to identify […]
I’ve already blogged about it before, but here’s another new study touting the beneficial effects of pomegranate juice on prostate cancer. Men, listen up!
Prostate cancer patients whose PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels increase over a short period of time have a bad prognosis, i.e. they’re more likely to die from their cancer. In an animal study […]
Resveratrol, an antioxidant compound found in grapes, raspberries, peanuts and blueberries, has been shown in animal trials to have potential in helping reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer.
In the study resveratrol-fed mice showed an 87 percent reduction in their risk of developing prostate tumors that contained the worst kind of cancer-staging diagnosis. The […]
Flaxseed, an edible seed that loos similar to sesame seeds, has been found to slow down the growth of prostate tumors.
In the study, the researchers examined the effects of flaxseed supplementation on men who were scheduled to undergo prostatectomy — surgery for the treatment of prostate cancer. The men took 30 grams of flaxseed daily […]
As a sequel to my previous entry on broccoli (and tomatoes) and prostate cancer, it appears that broccoli is just one member of a family of cruciferous vegetables that may help stop the growth of prostate cancer tumors. Other veggies which belong to this family are watercress, cabbage and cauliflower.
Dr. Singh’s study is based on […]
A new study (on rat models) suggests that the combination of tomato and broccoli was more effective at slowing prostate cancer than either tomato or broccoli alone.
“As nutritionists, it was very exciting to compare this drastic surgery to diet and see that tumor reduction was similar. Older men with slow-growing prostate cancer who have chosen […]
Two separate studies have demonstrated that pomegranate possess potent anti-cancer properties.
In a recent study, a pomegranate fruit extract was prepared by extracting the edible portion of pomegranate fruit in 70% acetone and 30% water. Then the extract was filtered, freeze-dried and stored at -4°C. Using, Using 150 microgram PFE per ml of this preparation, scientists […]
A small 6 month long study involving patients with prostate cancer suggests that a plant-based diet, coupled with a stress-reduction regime, can help slow, stop, or perhaps even reverse the progression of prostate cancer.
Patients were taught to increase consumption of plant-based foods such as whole grains, cruciferous and leafy green vegetables, beans and legumes, and […]
Aside from being good for the heart, the omega-3 fatty acids typically found in cold water fish may also help in treating prostate cancer. In animal trials, researchers have shown that feeding mice with a 1:1 ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids reduced prostate tumor growth rates and lowered PSA levels.
The most likely […]
