We at the Prostate Cancer Research Institute receive questions on a regular basis about diet, lifestyle, and prostate cancer (and if you would ever like to ask us a question about that or anything related to prostate cancer, contact our helpline at pcri.org/helpline). Unfortunately, diet and lifestyle questions are notoriously difficult to investigate in a truly scientific manner and insights on these topics are few and far between. Recently, though, a prospective study was published looking at the diet and lifestyle of 12,000 men with prostate cancer over 20 years. They found an equal incidence of prostate cancer in men with healthy and unhealthy lifestyles; however, they also found that there was a lower mortality rate from prostate cancer in men with healthier lifestyles.

0:09 I have heard that there was a recent study published looking at diet and lifestyle of 12,000 prostate cancer patients over 20 years. Is there anything that we can learn from this study?
4:17 Why is animal protein bad for prostate cancer?
5:00 Do eggs count as animal protein when thinking about animal protein's relation to increased prostate cancer risks?
5:27 Can a specific diet cause PSA to decline?
6:25 Do you have specific diets that you tend to recommend to your patients?
7:25 Is it fair to say that these stringent diet and lifestyle recommendations would be most appropriate for men with more dangerous prostate cancers and that men with low-grade, Gleason 6, prostate cancers do not
8:51 Considering the significance of a person's weight in their general health, can you tell us more about the medication "Wegovy," a weight loss medication, that you mentioned in our recent webinar?

After being diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer with a very grim prognosis ( Gleason 10 , PSA 587) i was put on hormone deprivation therapy and a keto diet to cut out "sugars" .My PSA would not get down below 211 . After seeing Dr. Scholtz 's earlier videos on avoiding animal foods i went on a strict whole plant based diet and a weight training regimen. 3 months later my PSA plummeted to 0.01. And has remained there for 3 years now! I am absolute living proof that a plant based diet has a massive impact on advanced prostate cancer survival. Thank you Doc Scholtz . So grateful i found this channel years ago!

Very impressive.. live long and prosper. I too had a high PSA when diagnosed mine was over 900 my Gleason score is eight I'm seem to be doing well my PSA now is 0.1 coming up on 2 years since diagnosis. Yours is a confirmation of how well a plant-based diet can work.
Fantastic! Keep fighting and wishing you strength and an abundant life . Here's to the power of plants🥂 ( Ok i cheat once a month and treat myself to a yummy steak😆)
Happy to hear that your PSA went down to 0.01 after getting on plant-based diet. It is both impressive and encouraging! I must confess, I am somewhat confused about that, however. Did they enhance your hormone deprivation? Did they add another agent? Please let me know as I am at a cross road with my advanced prostate cancer. Thank you for your post.
@@luketoni2902 Hi. My ADT has remained the same right from the start. Lupron plus anti-androgen orals in combination. Decided against chemo. My PSA remained stubbornly high the first couple of months. It only dropped dramatically after i changed my lifestyle. This included plant based diet. Strength and cardio exercises. Managing stress better. Also included medical cannabis and reishi mushroom extracts. Now on intermittent hormone therapy . It could possibly also be the holistic approach of all these protocols. But i really felt a change when i went plant based. Hope that helps and wishing you strength and enlightenment on this difficult journey!
I’m 76. I’ve been training with weights since I was about 13. I have decent muscle mass for a man my age. It sounds as if you are saying that I should reduce my protein intake to avoid prostate cancer. However, I then hasten the onset of severe sarcopenia. I would rather enjoy a robust shorter than live an extra few years as a weak old man.
You’re doing the right thing for you.
Protein powder, there's lots of vegan ones.
As a guy in his 60s who works out and eats a fish and legume heavy Mediterranean diet, I would absolutely say you should NOT cut protein. For cholesterol reasons, I've cut out red meat and eggs. But legumes like lentils, chick peas and kidney beans are very high in protein. I eat non-mercury fish in the morning, and combine the legumes with a bit (50 g) of chicken breast for my lunch and dinner. Gets me to my daily target of 1.6. g/day per kg of body weight. But thanks to the legumes, I'm also taking in ~80 grams of fiber/day.
Gotta be careful, a lot of that is based on observational studies and apparently if you had lasagna they counted that as meat! First cut the carbs, sugar, seed oils, ultra processed foods, junk food and fast food and mostly go 0 carb. The SAD is killing the bulk of Americans…
Same here.
I have had prostate cancer since 2014 (diagnosed) but was told that it was of the slow growing type. I'm now 81.
At the time I was taking testosterone medication but stopped immediately. I drink 250ml of processed tomato juice daily and eat very little meat. Never smoked (I tried it as a teenager for about a week then ran out of money). Don't drink alcohol any more. I love to walk every day and do resistance exercises.
My PSA over the years since 2014 has been in the range 2.9 to 4.09 but up and down within that range over time.
So it seems to me that I'm doing all the right things but I wonder if lack of sexual intercourse is a factor. I'm almost impotent and my wife is too sick anyway with an inherited heart disease.
Great site. Very informative. I have a routine telephone consultation with my urologist tomorrow.
I have not read or heard anything about a negative impact of lack of sexual intercourse. By the way, my PSA is in the same range as yours, but I’m a bit younger, 65. Good luck to you.
Thank you, you are an astute and informed interviewer! That goes a long way towards creating digestible information on this topic.
Excess carbs, sugars, highly processed foods are the enemy. Clean healthy diet is the way ✌🏽🙏🏽
The doctor said that animal fat is the enemy for those with the more aggressive forms of prostate cancer. Excessive carbs tends to feed other cancers. I have no idea what is meant by a "clean" diet, as even "organic" produce and meat can come from farms where DDT and other chemicals were used extensively decades (or even more recently) ago, not to mention chemical pollution in rain water, or simply present in the air. Unless you're running a chemical analysis before every meal, you can't be sure of the "cleanliness" of what you're chowing-down on. In addition to not smoking or drinking, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and weight, regular exercise, getting adequate sleep and eliminating stressors you can control, eating a well-balanced diet that leans towards fatty fish, plant sources and unsaturated fats will give you the best chance of surviving to an advanced old age. The good news is that people who commit to these habits by at least early middle-age will greatly increase their chances for longevity. My Dad, who will be 97 this year, smoked, drank and ate a high carb and saturated fat diet until he made the necessary changes in his forties. While his health improved, he still needed triple by-pass in his 60's and stents in his 80's. And he still intends to be shot in bed by a jealous husband at the age of 115.
High fat and animal products are the enemy too.
Diet has nothing to do with almost all ur health problems.. Hehehe surprise..
@@kerder8660 Diet has everything to do with 95% of all diseases.
@@kerder8660
That's not quite what he said
He said diet didn't seem to make a difference when it came to getting prostate cancer, but it was a factor (as part of lifestyle) when it came to survival
Curiously, both high protein (keto, carnivore) and plant based therapies seem to work.
It looks like anything that takes us away from standard western diet of procresed foods has health advantages.
Give a choice, I would go for the high protein... plant based as its own problems in the long term.
Interesting discussion. As someone with Leukemia, I just recently bailed on an oncologist who gave me the "deer in the headlights" look when I brought up the subject of diet and exercise to help manage my disease. In his view nothing but drugs will help.
i remember asking my doctor about taking a B complex and fish oil combination instead of prescribed drugs . He replied you dont want to going down that route.
What kind of Leukaemia do you have?
it is unfortunately the case for a lot of MD they diregard those aspects. it is still not normal that people who undergo cancer treatment don't get any consult about nutrition or exercise ..
Need more updates on Prostate Enlargement?
Alex is an excellent interviewer
A good life style is consuming only meat without any carbs. Cancer needs carbs to grow, so a diet of only fatty meat will starve cancer while boosting your immune system to better fight the weakened cancer cells. I am also Arthritis free and watched my high blood pressure drop to normal levels within three weeks of changing to only meat with high fat.
I don’t believe animal fats are the issue, I think it’s the seed oils and processed carbohydrate. Vegetarian diet is nutritionally inadequate.
Yup and those studies are observational with voluntary dietary surveys that count lasagna as meat!
Where did you get your misinfo from 😮
@@ceolbeats7182 we do not have multiple stomachs to process plants anti nutrients, meat and animal fat is the only natural human diet.
@@andrewrivera4029 Netflix Documentaries Forks over knifes, What the Health/ You are What you Eat, Dominion /Gamechangers Cowspiracy Fishspiracy All these documentaries are hosted by top qualified Sugeons/nutritionist & Dr,s . Thankfully children are now taught, meat is carcinogenic, causes type1 diabetes, & blocks arteries, rotting away 4days, blocking humans intestine’s unable 2 process it. Hope you enjoy the documentaries PS we don’t eat grass like cows🤣🤣we eat vegetables. 😆
You probably believe in the Easter Bunny too but so what? It doesn't really matter what you or I believe - the real question is what does the evidence show?
Love your shows. A lot of very good info in a short video that I can use to improve my life. Glad I'm a subscriber. 😊😊
Thank you so very much for your clear and emphatic diet recommendations,. Best wishes and much success to you.
I am grateful and appreciative for your outstanding and informative videos. Please keep up the excellent work!! Donated.
Dr. Scholz Man, you are God Send Thank you so much for your time to give great infomation.
Thanks much Dr Sholtz .Brilliant analysis. You are a special Dude.
Done with prostate cancer...transitioned to whole food plant-based diet/lifestyle...now I intend to live forever!
Michael Brasch, is your "plant based diet" plan to starve the cancer of all nutrition?
I have never seen a single, agreed-upon definition of a plant-based diet. My diet emphasizes a substantial proportion of colored vegetables on the plate compared to a small amount of animal protein. I don't see why this wouldn't be considered to be plant-based. This seems like a healthier diet than a vegan diet because it produces a sufficiency of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients without the deficiencies of multiple vitamins that is built into the vegan diet.
@@newyorkguy158 I demonstrated by beating prostate cancer by going vegan. I also no longer have to take lipitor for high cholesterol and...at age 70, I now weigh what I did as a sophomore in high school. Nothing succeeds like success!
@@Cedrus1952 That's great to hear Michael. I wish you well. I eat more vegetables than probably 90% of vegans and believe in their anti-cancer properties, fruit too. However when you say you beat prostate cancer by going vegan, I have some doubts, though it would be great if true. I would want to know how long have you been cancer free? Did you have radiation treatments? Cancer drugs or hormone therapy? What was your weight before you were diagnosed with cancer? What is it now and also your BMI? Were you eating a lot of sugar, sweets, etc before your diagnosis? There could be other reasons for your being cancer free. That's all I am trying to say, not to engage in argument.
I read all of the comments on this page. There is a 76 year old man who has been a vegan for I believe 70 years., He commented that he has prostate cancer.
@@newyorkguy158Stupid statement: "I eat more vegetables than probably 90% of vegans" The only thing certain in your ramblings is the word, "probably". I shant waste any more of my valuable time with your pontification. Carry on.
Thank you for info. Appreciate your concern.
Alex and Dr Scholtz are the perfect recipe I need to calm my anxiety. God bless the both.
After changing his diet my husbands PSa drooped from 12.1 to 7.1 over a 4 month period.
What is his new diet? I have prostate cancer and will be helpful. Thanks.
@@pypypypy3303 low carb. Keto. Cut out sugars. He also cut back on dairy and eggs
Thank you@Sandra Redmond! Appreciate very much!
@@pypypypy3303 check out Vitus prostate centre in Frankfurt Germany
Congrats on the drooping psa.....
Sorry couldn't help it😊
You are incredibly clear and articulate Dr. Scholz.
Agree - and (as far as I can see) unbiased.
@@jsguitargeek1432
Except surgeries,
How many studies included men who ate only wild grass fed hormone free animal products. Most men in the studies who ate meat probably started doing so 50 years ago and consumed processed meats with abandon. Also how many of the studies looked at other factors such as sugar consumption, carb consumption, processed food consumption whilst making assumptions about these meat eaters. Good quality red meat is full of bio available zinc. Processed meats probably not. Vegetarians are generally healthier that the majority of meat eaters. That said If you eat high quality meat in small proportions and clean up the rest of your diet coupled with good exercise you can be just as healthy if not healthier than any vegetarian. Plenty of red meat eaters out there with no cancer...
And which studies are you basing those assumptions on ?
Good interviewer! And a very interesting talk. Thank you!
Excellent/informative videos by Alex and Dr. Scholz.......this is why I have donated to PCRI. Thank you for the videos!!
Thank you, Chris!
Thumbs up on all your information and content glad I found this channel
Good sound professional advice for us Men THANK you.
thankyou for your generosity in sharing your professional knowledge Dr Schilz , and greaqt interviewing style by the host too
I second your observations.
@@nrs6956 I 3rd them
Let’s be clear, the study identified processed meats - which are loaded with chemical additives such as nitrates - not animal protein per say as the real villain. Several studies have confirmed that once dietary animal protein intake is adjusted for the effects of processed meat intake the correlation between animal protein intake and morbidity and mortality losses significance.
Grass fed and finished beef
@drdavid62
Interesting! Could you please quote the studies/ Trial PMID #?
I love both of y’all for the information y’all are putting out. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer (4+3) on the 18th March 2022. My age at the time was 52 years old. PSA Of 46 and cancer on left side of the gland. 30% of 6 cores! No signs of spread though! Because of this channel and information I became a pescatarian (fish is the only animal protein that I consume). And, I only eat a pound of fish per week that’s it! I have been on Lupron since May 2022, and for the next two years. Plus, 28 radiation treatments too (starting in July 2022 and ends the last day of August 2022. Additional I do strength training 3 day a week, and I have only lost maybe 5% percent totally (if that)of the strength; than before I taking Lupron. Also, I run 3.5 miles at 6.5 mph three days a week too to stay healthy and keep my energy up. I made the life style changes because of this channel, and I chose the treatment options also because of this channel too. Thank y’all very much, this channel has proven to be advantageous for me!
That is great! It can be tough to make those changes. Feel free to contact us if you ever have any questions (pcri.org/helpline), but hopefully you will not have to think about prostate cancer once the treatment is finished!
It’s all about me
To reduce and stop increase of my presant PSA level I was advised to take tab casodex 50 mg for 3 weeks only.It gave me a lot of relief my PSA level of 393 points came back to 65 points within5-6 weeks and all swallow gone from my feet
EN1 Chef You wrote, "Because of this channel and information I became a pescatarian." Do you remember the video's name that encouraged you to become "a pescararian"? Do you eat fatty fish and/or vegetables, also?
@@myklm8456 I think it was one of the many videos. But, this one the Doctor was explaining how some of his patients. Well they went vegan and it had a inhibitory affect on their rising PSA. And their PSA stopped rising. So, he said he saw the proof in their PSA numbers, that had stopped climbing. Oh, I eat Tuna or salmon 16oz only. And, one day a week only. Yes I eat fruits vegetables, rice, and beans!
During nine weeks of radiation I lost twenty five pounds. They put me on a terrible bland diet. As my radiation was at noon, I was told to come with a full bladder and a empty bowel, I didn't eat until after. When I started ADT I was told I'd gain all that weight back and more. No way I said. I continue to fast every morning, not eating until 2pm. I eat a spinach salad loaded with fresh fruit every day. For dinner I have a sensible meal, most without any meat. Eleven months into ADT I've managed to lose another five pounds, which probably would be another twenty-five if I wasn't on ADT. No fast food and very little sugar. My panels are for the most part better than ever now and my A1C is now 5.4, down a full point. To say prostate cancer was a wake-up call for me is an understatement. I do plan to continue eating healthy when I stop ADT next month.
What is adt?
From some studies I have seen there was no difference in survival for those undergoing radiation with ADT and those only having the radiation . I only had the radiation and my radiologist was fine with that.
I do believe with the advent of PSMA scans that ADT usage should decline greatly when cancer isn't found outside the prostate. This is my last month of ADT. My oncologist wants me to do two years, by the book, but that book is now out of date. I'm tired of being sick and tired so we will see if the radiation worked. If my PSA increases, it has been at PSA Zero since my radiation ended, he will do a PSMA scan. Find it kill it is our plan but no more ADT
@@johnnydee6659 yes what's ADT?
Androgen deprivation therapy, also called ADT, uses surgery or medicines to lower the levels of androgens made in males
I will start today thanks !
Interviewer is excellent - and asks very pertinent questions - thankyou!
I agree
I love these videos.
God Bless you both.
I’m recently had prostate surgery. I have a genetic condition with two cousins who have also had prostate cancer. After my surgery, evidence of cancer was detected in one of eight lymph nodes. Since then, I’ve been following everything you presented today in your presentation. I found it so helpful and encouraging. Thank you so much!
You don't have a genetic pre disposition. We've been lied to. Environment and lifestyle are the culprit.
A friend of mine is stage 4. He runs marathons. Ran across the USA. Ran the new York marathon back and forth. Still going strong.
I’m always curious if there is a connection between overly aggressive exercise and psa levels going up. Oxygen debt training.
@@jcolumbiap Running is probably more unhealthy than healthy. It damages the knees and feet, isn't provably healthy for the heart, and doesn't actually burn many calories. Marathon running elevates cortisol (stress hormone) levels for long periods, which could cause cancer.
@@kurt1391 You're right. Habitual long-distance running damages the heart due to cortisol release. Long-distance running simulates high stress. My niece was a marathoner for years and dropped dead from a heart attack at 28 years of age. No warning, she just keeled over during a run.
It's not about how much you do, but what you do.
@@jcolumbiap Definitely one with bike riding/cycling!
Excellent information! Thank You!
The interviewer is excellent.
That tie and jacket combo is to die for..
Thanks for your help and love your clothes and colors 💖
Thank you. Very helpful. My psa is 10.9, my T is 800. I had a mri and three 2mm lesions. I am waiting for the fusion biopsy at UW Cancer Care Alliance in Seattle. I have followed a 90% vegetarian life style for my 76 years.
These videos you make give me hope. Thank You
Praying for you my friend. How is your T, 800?
Wow. You are vegetarian and still had prostate cancer.
I'm not sure that 3- 2mm lesions would produce a PSA of 10, what is your age? With lesions that small, you should be fine. 2MM is tiny, I was told that even the 3tMRI would have trouble seeing anything that small.
I live in Nova Scotia, Canada and follow your videos. 11 out of 12 samples from the biopsy were cancerous and had my prostate removed in November 2020. Cancer was found in my seminal vessels from the pathology report, PSA .67. I had a bone scan and CT scan, no PSMA in Nova Scotia. I was put on hormone therapy in January 2021 and then had 33 rounds of radiation in the prostate area, starting in April 2021 finishing in July 2021. Just finished my last injection of hormone therapy in November 2022. I worked out with weights since I was 18 and am now turning 66. In pretty good shape and have turned to a vegan diet after watching this video to do the best I can to fight this cancer. The question I have, is fish considered an animal protein, or can fish raise your PSA levels. My PSA has been at .05 since going on the hormone therapy.
I've read that oily (Omega3) fish are beneficial, eg salmon, herring, mackeral, sardines. I'm in NB not too far from you. Did you have any liquid biopsy (4KScore or urine based test) or mpMRI prior to a biopsy? I am 70, very fit (running 21-25 miles/wk and cycling 70-90 km/wk in summer) and no weight or health problem, no family history of PrCa but, out of the blue, my physician just told me that my PSA is 16 (5 years after last test which was normal). I've had BPH since about 50. Prior to this news I had been Intermitent fasting for about 8 months (BMI 21.4) and doing a Wim Hof regimen of breathing and cold showers (also 2-3 /week saunas) for 2 months. I am scheduled to see her tomorrow to have a DRE. So, in the past week I have been racing up the learning curve on the prostate.
No liquid biopsy beforehand, MRI after pathology report and bone scan.
I don't understand why the video placed any emphasis on a vegan diet. The study only covered processed meats. They did not deal with vegan diets. The component with the strongest influence is healthy weight and exercise. Eat lots of tomatoes and fatty fish. Don't smoke. Don't eat processed meats.
I think real meat is fine, but eat enough plants for the anti-cancer phytonutrients. The strongest is sulfuroraphane, which was found to be very effective against prostate cancer.
Thats amazing ! I am in Montreal QC. I am going to my surgery this friday ! I am a little scared.... I already started a fasting with vegetables, sardines, tuna, salmon and little fruits.... We have a very similar ... MRI shows my seminal vessels, CTs not shows anything on bones or any other organs.... I will fight with all my tools... keep it strong and fight fight tight !
@bnk Delaney Yes, fish is considered an animal protein.
I am thankful that Dr S. is promoting diet exercise etc and that he is my doctor! Diet and lifestyle is beneficial to every aspect of health and wellness, prostate cancer being no exception. It is working for me and others and a growing number of men. We play a part in our destiny.

superb interviewer and interviewee
Thank you Dr. Scholz. Your videos are informative and an immense help for my brother.
She is a very good interviewer
Very helpful, informative, and educational, as well explained
Thanks 🎉
i am seeing these types of video multiple times like 20 times . i am a veterinarian and cancer patient= prostate= 74 yrs old pratctising at queens animal hospital woodside ny
Going plant based Whole Foods whether vegetarian or vegan or Mediterranean is not a hardship. It’s a fantastic way to eat and should be encouraged for everyone. Learn how to cook and prepare food and you will be amazed at how easy and delicious and satisfying eating well can be. It is the foundation of good health
For sure🙂...
Thank you.
Thanks for this information regarding plant based diet
Excellent interviewer!
Such well spoken intelligence.
He has a very calming voice and demeanour. Ideal for disseminating information on a topic such as prostate cancer.
It is stated that consumption of animal protein and fat has a negative effect on Prostate Cancer but that consumption of fish has a protective effect. Why the inconsistency? If it is just a matter of the beneficial effect of Omega 3 fats on the cancer, wouldn't the research suggest that we should avoid fish but eat lots of flax seed, walnuts, etc.? Confusing!
Very excellent and interesting information
Thankyou so much
I lost a dear friend 2 years ago to prostate cancer. His lifestyle was the epitome of what you mention here.
He was athletic, a cyclist, a runner, ran 20 marathons, lived a clean life, rarely drank, ate vegetarian, occassional meat, and alcohol.
I guess he drew the genetic card. He was a good man, very conscientious, gentle, kind, intelligent.
One doesn't "catch" cancer as a cold or flu. That caught my attention coming from a doctor. But I have slow growing PC (PSA 6 and Gleason 6) and appreciate the information
Me too...
If you listened carefully, you’d understand that he didn’t mean “ catch”, as in contract , like a cold or other viral infection ; he meant “catch “ as in detect or find and treat - viz. “luckily we caught the cancer early “. Please try to understand.
I have also prostate cancer S4 just few months ago to be exaxt july 27, 2023, now searching for better and effective diet, now under going
ADT testing results by Feb nxt yr.
Pam Popper highly praised a book called « Radical Remission - Surviving cancer against all odds » All cancer patients should read this, by Kelly A Turner, PHD
I think it's important to read the original study (it's short), especially the discussion section, and to download and study Table 6 in the supplementary data files. They are focusing on subjects that rank as being at high polygenic risk for progression or death of prostate cancer, and in their summaries of their results, they are basically talking about the highest risk group, which is the one that had the greatest effect of healthy lifestyle. Once you start looking in Supplementary Table 6 at the other risk groups (i.e., < 75%tile), then the results are much less clear, in that the direction of the difference in hazard ratio goes back and forth between the “healthy” and “unhealthy” ranges of the various lifestyle factors, or in several cases the difference is essentially nil. For example, for the next-to-highest polygenic risk group (50-75%tile), risk of lethal prostate cancer actually increases for high vs low vigorous exercise (.83 vs .45) and high vs low eating fatty fish (.65 vs .42). I think the bottom line is that the results of this paper may be less generalizable than one might have hoped (although for those who know they are in the high polygenic risk group, it could be useful).
@gshenaut Interesting points! Thabn you for your contributions. At least two reasons could explain the phenomena: individuals practicing high vigorous exercise could be at risk of an adverse hazard, i.e. having a worst diet 'because' they think the physical activity would compensate even bad eating choices. Usually you could not compensate bad or sub-optimal eating behaviors with exercises. Another reason could be very intense exercises develop higher ossidation such as reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs). More is not always better and also exercise should be calibrated for the best benefits.
Interesting and hopeful. Interesting that the diet and lifestyles changes had no effect on those who were were predisposed to get cancer because of family history etc. Only affected those who were already diagnosed with cancer
I just noticed a Urologist in New Zealand telling a lot of the different things that will raise your psa and not be prostate cancer.
Coffee, sugar, running, are a few of the items that affect the psa.
It's not entirely clear. The experts cannot seem to agree. All agree that sex, vigorous bike riding, prolonged sitting, even constipation will raise measured PSA levels. They cannot agree on coffee, sugar, alcohol etc. Some pharmaceutical drugs can raise or lower your PSA too.
The study conclusions show that the link between Prostrate Cancer and outcomes are mainly driven by obesity and smoking. You cannot conclude from that any particular diet regime is better or worse but rather net excess on any diet. We are all aware of the Dangers of processed foods and smoking however from other studies most chronic diseases have their origins in metabolic dysfunction where sugar/carbs are causal, we need more studies in this area.
Agreed, it is scary to read the comments and everyone is cutting out meat because they think it is bad.
The issue with these studies is that generally people who drink and eat lots of carbs, they also are big meat eaters. It isn't the meat, it is the carbs they are eating and the obesity. People on a plant based diet are usually more health conscious so they are not obese and avoid other harmful behaviors.
What the physician revealed in summary is that if one doesn’t have genetic predisposition there is no evidence that following or not a healthy anti-prostate cancer diet (less diary, red meat, processed food) will raise one’s risk to get this type of cancer. However this doesn’t apply for BPH (enlarged prostate) risk, where no matter what most men will have sooner or later with disturbing or not symptoms, right..
My Gleason9 Prostate Cancer started with warning signs of rash on forehead and cold feet. But I didn't know that at the time.
Good video - your views and findings make total sense 👍😊
Very Informative and clear - thank you both
What is being ‘good’ when it comes to intake of processed meats, fish and tomato products?
Excellent video ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for this presentation. I would like to know a bit more about some of the diets mentioned - I'm 80yo, on lupron, xtandi and have diabetes 2...
Excellent jacket and tie.
What is the spelling of the diet pill that Dr. Scholz mentioned that Dr. Moyad talked about? And where can I get it?
My PhD is about this topic: while I agree on what is said here, the literature is mostly inconclusive and it isn't clear what we should be aiming for in terms of nutrition and PCa risk. I think a more global approach is necessary : consider full diets instead of consumption of one specific food or group of foods.
You are a rookie. Don’t brag about your phd when it lacks common sense.
Do you recommend following Keto diet for Obesity, BPH and Prostate diet please?
Could you address what diet a patient with Crohn’s and stage 5 metastatic prostate cancer should adopt. Thanks
I want a tie like that.
What do you recommend to someone like me whom PSA was going up (200+) while on ellagard and zytiga, The zytiga was causing horrible urinary/ bladder problems which snowballed into GI track issues (diverticulitis). Yet my PSA dropped to 130's after I ran out and they didn't get my zytiga for 3 weeks a few months back. I have METS to most lymph nodes and was recently told I'm end stage prostate cancer. The diverticulitis I was told was the direct result of bladder inflammation pressing against my large intestines and colon. Ive since stopped taking the zytiga and am only making 2-3 trips to the bathroom rather than 8-9 and night and no more pissing razors. The last ER trip this past Sunday morning, was told my condition is unlikely to improve. ( weakness, light headed and vertigo that started after the diverticulitis flare up). My Oncologist hasn't been responsive since I said I didn't want to have anymore contrast CT scans. My primary questions is do you think my energy level loss is the result of the diverticulitis ride or the prostate cancer? Prior to to all this starting 3 weeks ago I had energy to hit the gym 3 times a week. Ive done most of the dietary changes.

Nice tie.
Very good video! What do you think of these prostate supplement?
Important to actually read the study rather than what someone says about it - Healthy lifestyle score
Based on information from validated questionnaires [20], [21], each participant was assigned a healthy lifestyle score [10]. The score included six components (one point each): body mass index
About animal protein - Thake a good liik at what the US animal industry feeds their animals. This is where things turn South
A year ago my PSA jumped from normally around 5, to 11. I had been keto for awhile but I went more strictly keto, started taking brocoli sprouts, lots of Vit D etc. Next two PSA scored were 8 and now at 6. I am eating lots of good veggies as well as plenty of meat and animal fats. I will keep doing what I am doing and keep taking PSA tests. I would like to fast more but find it hard at my age, 71. I do lift weights and I am very fit and strong.
My husband (80), who has PC, and I (75) do keto too. Every Sunday we do an OMAD (one meal day). We have a BIG breakfast and then don't eat until the next day (20-24 hour fast).
Why vitamin D?
@@gregl2249 prostate uses lots of D
We have something in common but I don't have PC and I will be 73 y.o. in a month. I recently stopped an intermittent fasting eating plan from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. made easy by zipping a herbal tea with several herbs and including green tea and coffee in the morning.. Thank you for your comment.
I just don't fully buy that animal protein is bad for the prostate. And I think Keto is awesome because you are getting in your animal protein with good veggies great to hear about your PSA moving in the right direction. I know you comment is almost a year ago how are you doing now? Hope you are still doing well!
I got prostatectomy .year go bye ....how I feel REGRET fell dog castrated . You should tell all the truth , what really will happen to you... is just .... what goes around comes around.
The improved diet is likely immune enhancing explaining the benefit in suppressed cancer development
Early last year, i was diagnosed with stage 2 high risk prostate cancer with gleason 4+4 and psa of 7.3. After prostatectomy has gone down to0.014,0.037, 0.049 and 0.064. My recent psa has not change from 0. 064
My question, does the stage of cancer goes down as the psa went down?
Does Tamoxifen work as well as Femara to stop male breast enlargement while on hormone treatment? Thank you.
It’s funny whatever side of the debate your on when it comes to diet the comments are always very positive.
I'm over weight but never smoked but do eat processed meats through out the month. I also eat alot of fish. Work out four times a week.
So - - - ?
Your point ?
Vitamin C often gets recommended as one of several supplements to take as a preventative health regimen to prostate enlargement and prostate cancer. Is the NOW brand of Vitamin C-1000 ok to take and if not what brand vitamin C would be best to take?
Im a 56 yr old male and O have been taking Finasteride for hair loss for 12months with no side effects. I hear conflicting reports about Finasteride and its effect on prostate cancer. My father and his father both had prostate cancer. Am I putting myself at risk? Thank you for any replys.
Saturated fat diet and red meat are known to be related to the incidence of many different type of cancers as well as smoking, excess alcohol and obesity. Mediterranean diet is best choice.

Thx for this great new video,! Regarding dairy products I just wonder that you recommend vegetarian diet and not vegan diet, especially WFPMD. Animal products are also in mild, cheese etc. Any thoughts?
Seventh day adventist who live similar lifestyles had 2twice the chance of dying of prostate cancer if they consume milk also known as
Lacto ovo vegetarian
Great information, a lot more detail about the health benefits of a vegatarian, vegan diet are in a video called Forks Over Knifes that I now own just because of the endless health information about animal proteins, and dairy impact on your body. With out a doubt is tough to give up meat completely but like the man says moderation is ok. Wild caught salmon is now almost the only animal protein I eat and my blood work is always excellent and Salmon is off the charts in omega 3. Great video, need to know information!
Aslo a great read: The China Study, highly recommended!
Do you have cancer ?
If you think about it, a family history of prostate cancer doesn't necessarily imply genetic predisposition, because families tend to have similar eating habits. If your parents eat badly, you tend to pick up the same bad habits. If your family has a culture of eating well, you will also tend to eat well.
How very true.
That makes sense - I never thought of that.
Family are scum.
My sentiments, exactly, the first question a lot of these doctors ask about medical issues that can be addressed via plant based, exercising, and fasting is does anyone in your
Family have, or had this medical issue?
@@jamesmiller3816 you're absolutely right.
I am interested to see what more research reveals, specifically diet and the mTOR pathway. The mTOR signaling pathway is involved in PCa progression, and seems to be up-regulated by meat protein, and in particular by dairy protein, consumption. This would mirror TC Campbell's research presented in the China Study.
My PSA levels taken every 3 months have been 15.4, 12, 19.4, 15.4, 19.4, 14. after a MIR and two biopsy's now being monitored with blood tests every 6 months.
Did you have prostate cancer?
I was referred to urology by my GP with a PSA reading of around 7 nearly a decade ago. A DRE, 12 pin biopsy and MRI scans have followed, with fluctuating PSA levels over succeeding years up to the
present time when a PSA reading of 15 was reported. PSA levels rise with age and are hardly the
most reliable guide to the presence or lack of cancer. A prostate friendly lifestyle, diet and health
supplements have long been adopted by me and i would be annoyed if further monitoring (which is
ongoing once you're on the medical merry-go-round) located the presence of prostate cancer. ..
@@songsmith31a Yeah, I think most of it is a big racket to make money unfortunately. Even the doc that discovered the psa test doesn’t believe in it for prostate screening anymore.
So they did not detect cancer? My husband been monitored since 2019....PSAs 5 then down to 3.2 then up to 8.4 and now 7.1. They did MRI in 2019 and had no explanation for it being raised (over 3l). They pushing him for biopsy or at least another MRI
My clinical PCP had me on a sugar free diet for my prostrate cancer, I guess he needs to watch this video & I'll now be reducing my animal fats, but good to know that my slip up of a piece of chocolate cake isn't feeding the cancer. I'm a new sub, great info, that yellow sport jacket was a bit blinding
Would like to know about XSTANDI therapy? Has anyone been on this with Trelstar 11.5 every three months!!
My Dad is on that his PSA is 4.01
Risk factors: Smoking, lack of exercise, being overweight, eating a lot of processed meat products.
Beneficial: More fish intake, tomato-based / vegetable type diet.
