Dietary question about prostate problems
Posted , 6 users are following.
I have been researching and reading everything regarding prostate problems while I am waiting for a second PSA test. Does anyone here find it to be truthful about the red meat and dairy consumption contributing to an increase to potentially developing prostate cancer? The reason I ask is that my diet primarily consists of these. We have a cow butchered every year for our meat. No antibotics or steroids however. Grass feed only. But I do drink high amounts of milk. Now when I say high amounts I mean high amounts because if my wife allows me I will drink a gallon a day. However, on average I do drink 3-4 gallons a week not counting the cheeses etc... This has me wondering! Any thoughts?

Too much of anything is not good. If you're having red meat more than say 3x a week then ease off it.
As to your PSA tests, ensure they are all performed at the same lab as different labs have different measuring tools and PSA results are not comparable across different labs.

I would urge you to read 'Prostate Cancer - Understand Prevent and Overcome Prostate Cancer' by Professor Jane Plant. Although the book repeats its theme over and over it is fairly convincing. In short, she argues that dairy products are harmful and points to the fact that PCa is virtually unknown in countries that do not routinely consume dairy products but PCa rises to normal level when these people adopt a dairy diet. Also, consider what dairy is - essentially a growth product produced by an animal which is fed on growth hormones; hardly surprising that problems with certain cancers would be the result. That said, I have not cut out dairy products but have reduced my intake by substituting milk and jogurt for soya alternatives.
