Diet and Prostate Cancer
Studies show men in Japan and China have as much as 90 percent less prostate cancer than American men.
Cancer rates varied between Japan and Hawaii and that cancer rates varied between generations within Hawaii.
“Breast cancer rates are very low in Japan. They’re high in the United States and what we showed was that if you looked at the first generation of migrants in Hawaii, the Japanese-American women, their breast cancer rates were still low by U.S. standards but they were much higher than in the first generation, so there was a progression,” said lead researcher Dr. Laurence Kolonel.
This, says Kolonel, is an indication that it can’t just be genetics. He believes it’s environmental. Researchers concluded the likeliest culprit was diet – especially as more Western eating habits make their way into Hawaii with fast food restaurants.
Researchers wants to examine the linke between prostate cancer and a healthy diet.
