The latest research from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), a division of the of the National Institutes of Health shows that a extract that is made from the skin of Muscadine grapes has the ability to slow down the growth of prostate cancer cells in laboratory experiments. As one of nature’s richest sources of polyphenolic [...]

There’s new hope for men with prostate cancer when their disease doesn’t respond adequately to standard medical care. Early research suggests that drinking pomegranate juice may slow the progression of prostate cancer. Pomegranate juice supplements were found to slow down the progression of recurrent prostate cancer in patients who had previously undergone treatment with surgery [...]

At present, confusion and controversy surround the inclusion of soy in the diet of those men at risk for developing prostate cancer. Research on soy and prostate cancer presents a conflicting picture. A Japanese study published in Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention found a correlation between increased intake of soy isoflavones and decreased risk of [...]

Capsaicin, the pungent alkaloid in jalapeños and other Chile peppers that makes them hot, not only puckers the mouth and burns the tongue but also drives prostate cancer cells to kill themselves off, according to studies published in the March 15 issue of Cancer Research. In clinical studies conducted in Japan, England and the United [...]

Turmeric, a spice common to curries, prevents the spread of prostate cancer in mice, according to a new study from Rutgers University. Over half a million men worldwide are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year, with over 200,000 deaths from the disease. The lowest incidence of the cancer is in Asia and the Far East, [...]

Up to one-third of prostate cancer cases in Western countries could be avoided if men would make simple dietary changes according to recent research. Experts estimate that approximately 30 per cent of all prostate cancers in Western countries are linked to diet, renewing a sensitive debate about how dietary factors affect the disease. The following [...]

There is evidence that many of the compounds contained in blueberries are able to fight prostate cancer at all stages of the disease, from initiation to proliferation. An Ohio State University study published in 2009 found that blueberries shrunk the size of prostate tumors and significantly improved survival rates in an animal research project. Mice [...]

American men whose diets are rich in animal fats, and particularly fats from red meat, face nearly an 80 percent greater risk of developing potentially fatal prostate cancer than do men with the lowest intake of such foods, a major new study has found. Higher levels of fat in the body fuel the production of [...]

An overwhelming body of research suggests strongly that increased milk consumption is associated with increased risk for prostate cancer. Over the past 50 years, a number of studies have been done examining the link between dairy products and prostate cancer. In 1997, the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research concluded [...]

A growing body of evidence suggests that vegetable oils rich in omega-6 fatty acids may play an important role in the progression of prostate cancer. Men who consume diets rich in omega-6 fats were recently found to increase their risk of prostate cancer by 3.54 times. Evidence is emerging that the ingestion of large quantities [...]

Numerous studies done on flaxseed and prostate cancer have shown that flax-seed can significantly slow the rate of prostate cancer cell growth. Researchers have found that a diet supplemented with flax-seed may reduce the formation, growth, or spread of prostate cancer. This breakthrough information has been confirmed by numerous studies. A 2008 study performed by [...]
