I did have perineal invasion and EPE, but yes it was 3 + 4 with ~30% post op pathology and a Decipher of 0.68. So I was high risk based on Decipher + biopsy. I had no adverse effects post-op, but I also was already in good shape and got into even better shape for surgery.
Like @jeffmarc mentions, I don't over indulge in sweets generally. My wife likes to also bake sweets and I'll indulge a bit here and there but generally my treat of choice is super dark chocolate or an occasional cookie.
My take on this is: it doesn't hurt, but whether it helps or not is debatable. It's the same with L Citrulline as a natural supplement for preventing/helping with ED - it may not do any good but it doesn't hurt so there's no harm trying. I still take that every day.
