A couple of notes on diet and cancer

@northoftheborder I doubt the JAMA would accept and print a non-producible result.
Dr. Walsh's book, 5th edition, was the first I have read after being diagnosed. He's a urologist of acclaim, no question. But the field of integrative care and prostate cancer has moved beyond him; one patient's point of view.
Two more sources that have been helpful to me and perhaps might be helpful to others are:
a) Dr Geo Espinosa: https://www.youtube.com/watch
b) NCBI: on integrative treatment of prostate cancer: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12185962/.
Now if you have JAMA or NCBI approved research on diet, exercise and prostate cancer happy to read. Always hoping to learn something new. I am but a patient trying to find the path to healthy living.
As I wrote, each of us has their own journey. You have yours and I have mine.

@dmccarthy104 That's fair. I'm just suggesting not reading too much into correlation studies, at least not until they've been reproduced frequently in different contexts. Otherwise, you'll end up chasing mainly noise rather than signal.
That said, if you want to cut something out of your diet anyway, and a correlation study makes you feel a bit better about that, go for it! As you say, we all have our own journeys.
But before people get carried away with enthusiasm and overhype a few isolated studies here in the forum, please consider how they might affect the silent, vulnerable, newly-diagnosed patients. They'll see exaggerated posts about eggs, sugar, dairy, or what-have-you and maybe start blaming themselves for their cancer, which a) is the last thing they need right now, and b) is going to be wrong the majority of the time anyway. We have to make sure our own journeys don't make other people's harder.
Cheers!
