Dairy and prostate cancer: Conflicting information

I also find many conflicting studies and many, many “meta analyses” that only summarize data from other studies. Until I read the results of an actual study that finds otherwise, I am following the diet guidelines of the Prostate Cancer Foundation (https://www.pcf.org/prostate-cancer-and-eggs-dairy-supplements-your-questions-answered-part-1/) and do not consume animal based dairy products.

Thank you for sharing that link. In the article, Dr Kenfield recommends eating a maximum of 2 eggs/week (if you're including the yolk) and avoiding high-fat dairy, but also says that "Low-fat and non-fat dairy are not consistently associated with bad prostate cancer outcomes."

That said, there's nothing wrong with choosing to consume non-dairy products like oat milk, so if you prefer it, go for it! For a lot of people, it might even improve their digestive health, because many people have trouble with lactose.

Unfortunately, there are too many conflicting and misleading studies and opinions posted, from very credible resouces....each with their own agenda.

I have advanced prostate cancer, and am going into my 4th year of remission. So far, surviving seems to be a crap shoot with a lot of variables. This is what I am concentrating on:
- avoiding selenium and vitamin B2 and vitamin E supplements
- avoiding most processed food and meat
- avoiding saturated fats
- avoiding most dairy, except certain cheeses (mozzerella/swiss)
- eating berries every day
- eating my veggies every day
- eating 1.5 ounches of nuts (avoid brazil nuts) every night
- drinking a lot of water
- avoiding alcohol
- drinking 2 cups of coffee each morning
- eating low fat/saturated far peanut butter every morning
- eating as much plant based and whole grain as possible
- eating omega 3 enriched seafood whenever possible

Support from family, staying positive and praying doesnt hurt either.

Every 3 months I swet the blood work results, and ct scan results every 6 months. Dont believe non credible resources, and talk to your oncologist, not Dr. GOOGLE!
