I agree with Jeff 100% ! 👍

I read a lot about meat consumption in general, not only "red" meat and also eggs and many articles and all research points to Mediterranean diet as one that is very beneficial. Countries that base their diet on plants have drastically less cancers cases in their population , and especially breast and prostate cancer.

My husband's PSA in February was 7.6 and I put him on supplements and excluded meat from his diet and in just 2 mos his PSA went down to 5.1 ! We tested PSA every 6 -8 weeks till surgery happened in August and his PSA stayed in 5.1 to 5.6 range even though his cancer turned out to be super aggressive gleason 9. Also, most old-timers here who are successfully controlling their cancer against all odds changed their diet - that is for me the biggest confirmation that diet has an impact and also exercise and keeping weight down.

Luckily my husband is the same as me - we love vegetables and fruits and we do not miss meat one bit. Do we love meat - yes , can we live without it - yes . What is necessary should not be hard IMHO.

Somebody mentioned UCSF - actually they recommend lowering meat, eggs and milk products. They did not say "exclude 100%" but that is because they know most people will find an excuse not to do it, so what they said is : eggs - limit, milk and cheese -reduce or eliminate, red meat- reduce , etc. And IT IS NOT all about fats, the problem with meat and eggs is complex and unfortunately I have no time to write all that I read and know and it will not make any difference anyways. People will eat what they want to eat and making diet modification is for most people impossible feat since they just do not want to do that. If they could do it there would be no diabetes, CV disease and so much cancer around . Even we did not change all of our diet before PC happened since we thought that we eat "healthy enough" (Mediter. diet) but - it was not enough !

Happy "vegging" everybody ; ) !!! 💖💗💖
