New Study Shows The Impact of Diet on Prostate Cancer | Mark Scholz, MD | PCRI

[@alphamale3141]

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.

[@aquamarine99911]

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.

[@andrewrivera4029]

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…

[@maverickat4544]

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!

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.

[@maverickat4544]

@@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!

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.

[@pattiannepascual]

really. the blue zone groups have proven what works.average life span 100,super active until those ages, they don't get diseases. They are plant based. Show me anywhere near this in carnivores.

[@pattiannepascual]

if you look at what works,with evidence over very long term, is a plant based diet. Research the Blue zone groups. They are 95-100 % plant based, live to around 100, stay active into those years, no chronic disease. The next diet is the Mediterranean diet. You will find no studies whatsoever of long healthy life that includes the normal amount of animal products. There are many legit studies in medical journals showing how the hormones in meat and milk actually cause cancer. That's why it's critical you do your own thorough research, it can save your life. Be very careful not to be dragged in to these internet channels and even doctors, specifically the carnivore cult ones, who push meat, well knowing the studies that are out there. The fact none respond, I have contacted many, about the blue zone and the studies showing cancer, tells me what they are all about. money.

I have read most all the comments. I got diagnosed with PC 16 months ago or 5/2023. I had a Gleason 7 and on the margins and had the little bast-ard taken out 8/2023. It was very hard on me. Now, I am a 71 mega athlete and was 5 9 163 now I am 139. My PSA 3 month Bloodworks were as follows: .022, .64, 213 then started the Keto Metabolic Diet with 2 day fasting, next BW almost flatlined at .231, and then it friging doubled to .441. I am very strict on the Keto. I eat chicken and salmon wild caught. I have taken and still do take 4 times a week 500mg of Mebendazole and blend in 1 Ivermetin and 1 HCQ two of those 4 days. I drink Turmeric/pepper/Ashwangda Powder, drink a little Appricot Seed Oil, MCD oil and exercise now only half as much at 1.5 hours a day. I now switched to no boiled eggs daily and eat something better, Ground up Flexseed in water, a little salt, pepper, a bit of Olive oil and make it cold and it taste like an egg or is better so not bad. I have followed Prof. Seyfried of Boston College and keep asking him in the comments all under his 100 utube videos or more PROF. I HAVE IMPLEMENTED 5 MONTHS AGO ALL YOUR KETO METABOLIC DIET. MY GKI HAS BEEN UNDER 2 ALL THIS TIME AND UNDER 1 HALF THE TIME SO HOW DID MY PSA DOUBLE THE LAST 3 MONTHS? ALL QUIET. Now, I am having a follow up new combo CT/PSMA Pet Scan tomorrow as the first one 4 months ago said no RED Dots but a small lesion on the bone. My PSA only got to 6.9 before I had it taken out and since my PSA is still very low. All Studies say unless your PSA is very high, it is impossible for any bone lesion to be cancer as we have as many inside on the bone moles and freckles as we do on our arms and most all are just benign. Wish me luck tomorrow and God Bless all of you. I do The Iceman deep breathing daily to relax, I smoke pot here in Thailand as it is legal and it helps me relax.

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?

[@GG-tk8cq]

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...

[@johnmartin7919]

And which studies are you basing those assumptions on ?

[@paulasusan63]

I agree with you!

[@Fighter4Street]

I think the issue with these studies is that we have been told that meat and fats are bad. This means that people who eat meat don't care about their health and eat a lot of other stuff and have other bad habits like smoking and eating lots of carbs. I just can't see a study where the people in the study only eat meat, so you can't trust those studies. A proper study would be based on people who are on a carnivore diet and exclude all the other foods.

[@trevcam6892]

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.

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.

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

Protein and animal fats are not the problem. This (the study) is a bunch of BS propagated by the medical industry who are still hanging on to old biases and half-assed research. There are groups that have a vested interest in steering people in a certain direction because of the own agenda. Show me a meaningful double blind study that has a respectable N value that has taken place over a reasonable time that shows meat and animal fats as being carcinogenic. There are so many other factors that play a role in the development of cancer, many of which are never taken into consideration during these studies. A quality and useful study is very complex, costly and difficult to get, unfortunately. We rely way to heavily on these officials to tell us what is appropriate, when it's clear they have no solid evidence of anything. A little common sense may wind up going much further in the end.

[@jejunamja]

Honestly, it’s hard to believe experts on anything anymore for years, they push that diet pyramid thing, which was a total farce, and I have to confess for years I eat a low-fat high carbohydrate diet, and was always hungry. I’ve enjoyed running all my life so I was never overweight at all. Probably a little skinny, but always had a hard time keeping muscle on so the last few years totally change my diet edit a lot more protein and cut out any process food now at 60+ years old I’m finally putting on some muscle. When you go to the grocery store and you look around, everything is carbohydrates and you look at everybody and they’re fat. I’m not picking on people but the food industry and the experts lied to the American republic.

[@forsdykemontague1017]

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.

[@Fighter4Street]

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.

[@derduke7989]

I don't agree with that. That would be too simple. There are many parameters and influences that cause cancer, and in addition a hormone driven cancer like prostate cancer or breast cancer is even more complex. DNA inheritance has a major impact on whether or not your body develops cancer. There are many athletes with a lot of muscle mass and little fat. They led a very healthy and strict life and still got cancer. On the other hand, many people drink, smoke and eat anything. They grow old without getting many diseases. In this case, it's just divine DNA.

[@edm5929]

Excess carbs, sugars, highly processed foods are the enemy. Clean healthy diet is the way ✌🏽🙏🏽

[@Grimenoughtomaketherobotcry]

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.

Downsides were gential shrinkage and hot flushes galore so I stopped the ADT a couple of years ago. I am back in the danger zone (PSA 9 at last check) but am taking a daily pill to stop the caner from uptaking testosterone. I may have to go back on the ADT. SO far though I've outlived the grim prognosis by 6 months already. No substantial diet change.

A flawed study in many ways , you have with those 6 factors confounding effects and there is no study that shows that for instance red meat causes or accelerated cancer . As to processed meats , again the nitrate etc addition in meats is Much less than naturally occurs in Plants ! So based on your hypothesis plants should be avoided. Conjecture does not make a good study , self reported observational studies Do not good data make . Further suggesting tomatoes as a health food or cancer severity plant is again totally without basis , tomatoes are a nightshade poison and should never be eaten with skin or seeds included. You use these factors as if they were proven causation between the food and the results. How did you choose the list ? What criteria? Why just 6 ? How did you measure what quantities of foods these people are ? The fact is the study probably did not and certainly relying on questions and responses is flawed. All in all this is completely BS . Sure don’t smoke or drink or be obese that’s a given but the rest is a total pull out of the air convulsions. You guess so I can too you are pushing people to a plant based diet .

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.

[@wicker1234]

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.

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.

Virtually all the studies that conclude that animal-based food increases chances of prostrate cancer are observational studies that can only show correlation not causation. Just as the case of heart disease. However the confounding factors such as healthy user bias are not accounted for. Generally heavy meat eaters are also most likely to over drink, not exercise and eat processed food. For this reason, many researchers say that observational nutrition studies are nearly worthless. It is best to stick with an ancestral consistent diet (e.g., 70% animal-based) until there is clear clinical (RCTs) evidence that clearly show the causal connection between unprocessed, grass-fed animal products before following the advise of the medical research community that already has a bias against ancestral consistent diets.

[@doriagh]

I agree. Too many confounding variables in an epidemiologic studies. These types of studies are problematic and probably funded by biased sources. The "New Science" looks at cancers as a metabolic disease. These epidemiology studies are not looking at biology/physiology of cancer cells. My husband started Keto diet after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and osteoporosis. He weighed only 94 lbs, A1c 6.0, PSA 1000. On Keto, he reduced carbs/sugar, prioritized good quality animal protein (70%), low sugar fruits/veggies, and NO grains or processed food. Physiologically speaking Cancer cells have a deranged metabolism and lots of insulin receptors. This makes the cancer cell very "glucose hungry". Eating lots of carbs/sugar would be feeding the cancer cells. Today he weighs 114 lbs, PSA 4.2, A1c 5.6, and his lab work looks great. He works out with a personal trainer 2X week. I don't think he would have gained weight/muscle and maintained bone/tissue density with a vegetarian diet. He is 80 years old.

[@AncestralFuel]

@@doriagh those are great (and expected) outcomes for your husband. And, I bet if you measured body comp, his muscle to fat ratio, it will have also improved on a 70% animal-based diet given the superior nature of animal protein in terms of bioavailability and amino acid profile. And, muscle wasting is something all of us older folks need to worry about. Agree on all points regarding cancer and it’s love of glucose. It is also interesting that new cancer research is emerging that is showing that cancer cells also prefer unsaturated fat over saturated fat. So, not only does sugar/glucose promote cancer but also highly processed vegetable oils, which I believe we will see clearly in 10 to 20 years as feeding cancer as well.

So I was shocked when he died of stage four in his early 60's. I sent him the DVD called "forks over knives". He rejected the plant based diet, but it was likely too late anyway. He had no blood work and his personal doctor only had him do exercise for his lower back. I guess he did not want the tests because he had poor insurance, (I do not know this for certain). He hated government healthcare and I am sure he thought he would not need it because of his health style.

[@gshenaut]

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).

[@OnyxOnyx-r7w]

@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.

[@simonround2439]

You are attempting to draw conclusions about animal fats from an epidemiological study which is particularly vulnerable to the "healthy person confounder". Those who eat the most processed meats are those who tend to come from poorer backgrounds, who do less exercise, who smoke more and who are less likely to follow other advice to stay healthy. Only randomised controlled trials can really be taken as useful. For example do we know from this study how much more susceptible to this form of prostate cancer are people on an animal-based keto diet who also eat lots of fish and vegetables, who don't drink or smoke? I'm guessing you would be unable to answer.

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!

My Gleason9 Prostate Cancer started with warning signs of rash on forehead and cold feet. But I didn't know that at the time.
