Dairy and prostate cancer: Conflicting information

A tightrope walk between dying from cancer or dying from heart disease!
And the more ‘plant based’ info I find, the more confusing it gets. Heard a podcast from the Canadian CEO (The Chick Pea King) of this company that produces chick peas and lentils for export to India and Arab countries which are mostly vegetarian.
Something like 30% of all Indian children are starved for protein and suffer many health problems because of it.
I hate to be flip at such a serious statistic, but a nice steak could really help!

Most people in India are Hindu and they do not eat beef ; ). Actually most are vegetarians. That on the side, it is really horrible fact that so many people are starving in this world and so much wealth floats around. I mean, how can billionaires sleep at night is beyond me ... (with exclusion of Gates, of course). I can hardly make ends meet but am still sending charity and always feel so sad that I can not give more and have to "choose" of whom to send : (((.

There are ways to get vegetable protein such as beans, lentils, and soy, but it takes a bit of intentionality. PCRI has a video from 2023 called (something like) New Study Shows Effect of Diet on Prostate Cancer. They list six categories: smoking, exercise, weight management, processed foods, tomato/plant-based products, fish. Those who pursued the healthiest path in all six categories but had recurrent disease had an 80% improved survival rate.
