This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
The Multiethnic Cohort Study (Cancer Research Center of Hawaii & USC of Southern California) published in their bulletin (Vol 8, Issue 1, Fall 2008) and also published in the International Journal of Cancer (Aug 2008)that linked the consumption of legumes to a reduced risk of prostate cancer. Of 82,483 men (5 ethnic groups)during 8 years of the study, 4,404 PC's were diagnosed. They found that men who ate more than 73 grams (2.6 oz)of legumes/day on average had an 11% lower risk of being diagnosed ... at any stage, ... 26% lower risk of developing more advanced forms of the disease ... compared to men who consumed less than 15 gms/day.
I did leave out some words, so this is not an exact quote.
