Does eating less red meat help reduce risk prostate cancer recurrence?

Nothing you add OR subtract completely from your diet is going to guarantee cure, remission or relapse. A well balanced diet with all things in moderation is easy to follow and healthful as well.
You shouldn’t be pounding down red meat every day anyway; but once or twice per week is not going to tip the scales either way in my opinion.
Eat lean red meat - NOT charred on the grill since this one factor has been shown to be carcinogenic - and stay away from highly processed meats loaded with nitrates.
Meat CAN be good for us if eaten correctly. Best,
Phil

Your post mirrors what my dietician and cardiologist tell me at Mayo Jacksonville. It is all about moderation and balanced diet. I was given a diet recommenations from UFHPTI when I met for my pre radiation treatments. I had already gone through diet consuling with my cardiologist but UFHPTI was geared to address diet issues during radiation. Like "don't eat beans."
I have heard the charred association many times. I don't grill meat so have never had to worry.
The highly processed foods usually are full of salt also. Although I have never heard and association with salt and PC it sure is linked to high blood pressure.
I think a lot of meat regardless of red or white can be detrimental if full of chemicals and injections. When you consume it you consume what the animial ate and what the animal was given to eat or injected. I think the growth hormones injected into meat would be much more of a concern. Maybe HHS will look into this someday. But even eating fish comes with threat of too much mercury especially in some types of fish.
