According to a new study, a plant-based ​​​​​diet could boost prostate cancer survival. 

 The risk could drop by as much as 52%.

  • The study suggests that men who ate a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains had a 52% lower risk of having their cancer progress further and a 53% lower risk of recurrence compared with men who did not have the same diet.
  • This effect may be caused because fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components and reduce exposure to hormones and heterocyclic amines created during high-temperature cooking.
  • Milk and dairy are also considered as two factors that may increase the growth factor IGF1, which is associated with prostate cancer risk.
  • The study was conducted with over 2,000 men.
