ONCE AGAIN: WESTERN DIET = PROSTATE CANCER

When Japanese men move to the U.S. and start eating plenty of high-fat burgers and pizza and less soy, their risk of prostate cancer increases. But so far, much of this evidence has been anecdotal. A recent study compared genetically similar Japanese men in the US and Japan to examine why our prostate cancer rate is 10 times theirs. What it found was that "the Japanese-American men reported eating a diet substantially higher in animal fat. Not surprisingly, they also had a greater percentage of body fat and higher triglyceride levels in their blood."
