@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.

@northoftheborder And about that, North…your own avoidance of red meat did not prevent you from having a very aggressive form of PCa at a young age, right? But the diet zealots will say it must have been the dairy! No…the eggs! The poultry!! No….not organic??
You can’t argue with a true believer when it comes to anything; their beliefs are pure, their resolve unshakeable, their heads thick as cement…
