"Study Shows Plant-Based Diet Lowers Health Risks for Men, Including Prostate Cancer"

A recent study published in the medical journal Urology found that a plant-forward diet could help prevent and manage conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), erectile dysfunction (ED), and prostate cancer (PC) in men. The study evaluated the relationship between consuming plant-forward diets and commonly observed male health conditions such as BPH, ED, and PC. The findings showed that consuming plant-forward diets could aid in preventing and managing male urologic conditions such as BPH, PC, and ED. Additionally, a plant-based diet that includes plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables could reduce both the progression of prostate cancer and the risk that it could return. Conversely, men who regularly consume dairy, particularly milk, compared to those who abstain from it, could be at approximately a 60-percent higher risk of developing prostate cancer.
