Dairy and prostate cancer: Conflicting information

Recently I watched a podcast regarding Prostate health. An expert on prostate diet suggested drinking ONLY plant based milk. She specifically mentioned Ripple. I have been drinking it ever since the podcast. It taste good and has good texture. It is a little pricey(4.39 -5.99 depending where I can get it). I also read a health article that said avoid dairy, red meat and cure meats like ham and bacon. My urologist and general physician agree with those recommendations. Of course, there are many who still believe moderation is ok. Best of luck to you whatever choices you make.

It's always a good idea to exercise moderation, and limiting red meat is good for colon health. High consumption of processed meats does have a strong correlation with many cancers, so it's best to make them a "sometimes" thing (e.g. go ahead at eat the hotdog they offer you at the church picnic, if you want, but don't have hotdogs once or twice a week at home).

If you're going with plant-based milk, oat milk is relatively inexpensive here in Canada, at least, has a good consistency, and is more environmentally-friendly than other plant milks (oat plants need little or no irrigation, for example, and they have low fertilizer requirements; they're basically weeds). But regardless, make sure you're still getting your calcium and protein if you give up dairy, because ADT very often leads to muscle and bone-density loss.
