A couple of notes on diet and cancer

Thank you...other than following a healthy diet that everyone should follow and a few indulgences here and there, there isn't any one food that's responsible for prostate cancer, as far as we know. There are pleasures in life that mean more about quality of life than being concerned about everything you do, affects our prostate cancer. Even down to the medical side of this disease and all the medications that take the quality of life from us. Quality of life itself, has some benefits to solving this cancer or at least making it bearable.

@harvey44 Exactly!
And even the strong correlations are suggestive only of the idea that certain foods in excess might be a problem. Dr Walsh writes that there's no problem having a hot dog once in a while, as long as processed, preserved meats aren't a daily staple of your diet (I don't, but only because I've been vegetarian for nearly 30 years 🤷).
Analogies with tobacco and alcohol are spurious, because alcohol goes straight to your liver, and smoke goes straight to your lungs. That's why there's no safe level of tobacco use, for example.
Nothing you eat, drink, or inhale goes straight to your prostate: it has to pass through your body's filtration and regulation systems first.
