True, the prostate gland is a troublesome location on the human body. There was a study by doctors at Mayo most recently. I posted the information overview and the link, but the Mayo blog manager apparently took the information down. Essentially, the natural ingredient in the spouts appears to slow down cancer cell generation. That was the bottom-line summation of the Mayo study. Just searched on line for my entry: Here is the entire link and summation:

*********************************************************************************************************
(From the article: A potential key to treatment-resistant prostate cancer
The study tested whether blocking sPOM121-driven cancer programs like beta-catenin could improve the effectiveness of treatments such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, which help the immune system attack cancer.)

PLEASE FOLLOW THIS LINK..RESEARCH APPARENTLY HAS INDICATED A CONNECTION BETWEEN PROSTATE CANCER AND A NUMBER OF ELEMENTS. AFTER READING OTHER ARTICLES ON THIS MATTER, I NOTED ON COMMON "ELEMENT IN ONE'S DIET".
NOTE AS: Sulforaphane
This compound is an isothiocyanate produced when the glucoraphanin in cruciferous vegetables is chopped or chewed.
Foods: Broccoli, especially young sprouts, is considered the most significant dietary source. Other cruciferous vegetables containing sulforaphane include:
Broccoli sprouts
Brussels sprouts
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Kale
Bok choy
Mechanism: Sulforaphane promotes the degradation of beta-catenin and inhibits the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway, which is often overactive in some cancers.
THERE ARE MANY FIRMS TO INCLUDE AMAZON THAT SELL SULFORAPHANE IN PILL OR POWDER FORM. Something to ask your doctor. READ THE ARTICLE THEN DO "AI" ON THE NET FOR MORE AND DETAILED INFORMATION. REMEMBER, KNOWING "ALL" MAKES FOR BETTER AND MORE INFORMED DECISIONS.

@westernflyer Hello, Good information for sure. I will add that broccoli sprouts might be worth considering. Do your own research, but sprouts have proportionally much more sulforaphane than fully grown plants. Therefore just a little (hopefully) might help.

I have begun sprouting them at home, Simple,, seeds, water glass jar with a mesh cap (all easily found on Amazon or at The Sprouting Comany). I do NOT have a green thumb and the sprouts always turn out fine.
thank you
