Case-control studies based on data from self-reported questionnaires of people’s diets are rarely the most accurate predictors of reality. However, for what it is worth, a new study has reported that higher levels of calcium in a man’s normal diet may be associated with a lower risk for diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Perhaps to be more strictly accurate we should rephrase that heading as, “A diet high in whole-grain products did not appear to reduce the risk for prostate cancer among a large cohort of Danish men aged between 50 and 64 years.”

The issue of whether changes in diet and the use of supplements affect risk for and progression of prostate cancer is regular fodder for media coverage. One of the major problems is that there has never been a large, well-controlled clinical trial that could provide definitive (“level 1″) evidence in support of the clinical benefit [...]

A group of French researchers have tested use of a diet and exercise tool-kit for men about to start androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). We have not seen the tool-kit, and obviously it is in French … however, it seems to have met with considerable approval from patients and their doctors.

We know from prior research that mice that have prostate cancer and are fed a no-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (NCKD) have smaller prostate cancer tumors and live longer than mice that are fed the mouse equivalent of a standard “Western” diet.

Analysis of data from an 8-year-long European trial has concluded that a diet high in fruits and vegetables has only modest impact on people’s risk for cancer — but the study was again so flawed that it is hard to know what it really shows.
