Dairy and prostate cancer: Conflicting information

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.

Well, that would be me exactly: recurrent disease, following all six recommendations, but eating dairy in moderation.🤞

If you're going the vegan route, the best way to get your vegetable proteins is by eating them in their normal state, instead of heavily processed into faux meats or cheeses. They're also mostly very inexpensive as ingredients, which is important when so many other grocery prices are rising.
A black-bean burrito, fresh-ground peanut butter on whole wheat bread, white bean and kale stew, lentil soup, hummus on a whole-grain pita, chickpea curry on brown basmati rice, etc. etc. are all delicious vegan dishes with a reasonably high amount of protein.
If you're fully vegan, also remember to take a B12 supplement, because it's very difficult to get your B12 from plant-based sources (you'd have to eat a *lot* of flax or nutritional yeast).
