Fish Consumption Multiplies Prostate Cancer Risk
Studies looking at the specific components of a traditional Asian diet have concluded that the high vegetable and soy content as well as the low fat and animal protein composition may all play beneficial roles in prostate cancer prevention and survival. Researchers further explored this idea by tracking the diets and prostate cancer diagnoses of 18,115 Japanese men. They found that fish intake was the only dietary factor significantly associated with increased risk of developing prostate cancer. Men who ate fish products four or more times per week had a 54 percent increased risk of developing prostate cancer compared to men who consumed fish products fewer than two times per week.
