Products, that might increase the risk:
Meat
According to some studies very well done meat consumption increase the risk of prostate cancer. For the increased risk of the diets high in animal fat might be responsible arachidonic acid - an omega-6 fatty acid common in the Western diet. Some studies although show no relation between meat consumption and prostate cancer risk.
Diary products and Calcium
Some studies has shown a possible prostate cancer risk increase with the consumption of diary products and milk. 5 and more servings a week (high intake) had shown an increased risk of developing a prostate cancer, compared to 1 and less serving. Also Calcium from dairy products and supplements was positively associated with risk, but not calcium from other foods. Although there are studies that show risk connected to calcium intake but not the diary products.
Supplemental Vitamin E
Large trial on over 35 thousand men shower significant prostate cancer risk increase with the supplementation of vitamin E, however, the other studies showed reduced risk of prostate cancer among SMOKERS, who were supplemented with vitamin E. Other large and long term study showed no influence of the vitamin E and C supplementation on
prostate cancer risk rate.
