Most men diagnosed with localized prostate cancer will not die from it. Heart disease is the bigger threat, and diet plays a major role.

Roughly 60% of men with low-risk prostate cancer start on Active Surveillance, and half walk away within five years, usually because PSA keeps climbing.

Research on 802 cancer survivors points to the Mediterranean Diet as a key ally in long-term survival. keep reading

For decades, Japan has used turkey tail mushroom extract (PSK) as an approved add-on to chemotherapy for cancers like stomach and colon.

Could this natural compound hold untapped potential in U.S. cancer care? keep reading

Okay, folks, this is BIG NEWS! A research study out of the esteemed Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and two other academic centers may be the first of its kind to definitively connect healthy diet with reining in prostate cancer (PCa). Specifically, the study population was done with PCa patients currently on Active Surveillance keep reading

Can a diet rich in omega-3s slow prostate cancer growth? A new UCLA study suggests that men with early-stage prostate cancer who followed a high omega-3, low omega-6 diet—plus fish oil supplements—saw a significant drop in a key cancer progression marker. With promising implications for Active Surveillance, this research may redefine prostate health strategies. keep reading

Is your daily glass of milk a cause for concern? Recent studies suggest a potential link between high dairy consumption and prostate cancer risk. Discover what the research says and learn how to make informed dietary choices for better prostate health. keep reading

Is there a best diet for everyone on the planet? No, there isn’t. Many factors influence what we put in our mouths, including our culture, customs, and available ingredients. However, if you are overweight or obese, there may well be a universal method for getting to a healthier weight regardless of your nutritional combinations: intermittent fasting (IF). keep reading

Prostate cancer is a global disease, but not uniformly so. In fact, the incidence rates vary widely from one nation or region to another. Because of this, researchers have been very interested in the possibility that environmental and lifestyle factors could play a role in either promoting or preventing prostate cancer. Chief among these factors is nutrition, especially fruits and vegetables... keep reading
