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

Posted by love06092025 @love06092025, Sep 20 11:43am

Hi !
My husband had a successful radical prostatectomy . I think it would benefit him (as in prevent a recurrence or future cancer of another type) to drastically reduce his red meat consumption or even better yet, STOP it but he feels otherwise. I am curious if anyone can refer me to documentation or medical journal article to support my theory.
Thank you!

Yes you may : ))),
Now that he is without prostate he is taking less of them and those are :
Curcumin
VitD +vit K
Maitake D-fraction (drops)
White Button Mushroom extract (powder) plus fresh mushrooms
Turkey Tail Mushroom
Organic Supergreens (by Zena) mixed with soy milk - he drinks it as a shake, me too by the way lol since it is yummy.
Green tea extract and drinks tea regularly
Broccoli supplement and also eats roasted broccoli or steamed ones couple of times a week
Probiotics
Pectasol
Doctor told him to take L-citruline for penile rehabilitation (it promotes better blood flow)
My husband lost a lot of blood during surgery so I added sublingual B12 vit and Iron since he still has low hemoglobin

Phill will say that it does not matter ; ), I love Phill, but I think that it matters, at least somewhat 😜. Small steps add up , I think, I hope ...🥰. If nothing else it can make body stronger and healthier so it can withstand all of that on-sloth of surgeries and treatments.

I'm with you. Steve. I miss the Swiss! For me, it is harder too eat just a bit, so I am better forgoing the cheese altogether....

Thanks for the "Pura Vida" reference. I had to look it up, but I love the philsophy it represents.

It's very simple forget the red meat..testasteron of androgen is the food for the prostate cancer molekule ..supplements like Lyicope from tomato, mashrom small buttons, curcumin kaps,or powder..lots of greens and fruit nuts, poultry bio pasture if possible.

I cut out red meat and processed meat entirely. I hope I can still have chicken and fish?
I also see people saying to cut out dairy, but my MO says that is nonsense. She did say follow a Mediterranean diet.

PS: UCSF advised complete cessation of milk products if possible. That was the only thing they suggested to be "eliminated" . For meat and eggs suggestion was "reduce" or "limit".

According to UCSF : "Men who consumed 3 or more dairy servings daily had 76% increased risk of OVERALL mortality and 141% higher risk for prostate specific mortality. "

Actually, there’s been some serious egg studies that say if you eat more than three eggs a week, it can be a problem. Do a search on the web and you’ll find Those studies.

Agreed ! I excluded eggs also. 👍 I was just reporting what UCSF said. : )

One should move to plant based protein, occasional fish and that is it. Moderation is for healthy people IMHO, once you have cancer it is the whole another game, unfortunately . : (((
