Thanks for the article, it's accessible!
About the harm of vitamin D and foods containing selenium, magnesium, and zinc. All of these promote testosterone synthesis. But the contradiction lies in the fine line here: some substances promote lymphocyte production and affect the immune system.
My doctor simply told me, "You can eat everything in moderation," and he also advised me to drink green tea to lower testosterone.
I heard another very good doctor say, "Diet doesn't affect cancer."
During chemotherapy, I drank a lot of pomegranate and carrot juice, for example.
I've heard many people say I should give up meat, milk, and eggs. I reduced the amount of these, but I didn't give them up completely.
I'm not a doctor, but my opinion is that diet does matter. How else can you explain why some people's cancer goes away and doesn't return in the later stages?

It is red meat that’s the problem.. Following a Mediterranean diet with chicken and fish is just fine, Don’t eat the poultry skin, however since it’s fat.
Again moderation is important. It can’t hurt to eat a steak once a month. It’s doing it every day that’s the problem.
For milk it’s the fat in milk so drinking non-fat milk is the best. I get Soy milk for cereal and it works well, tastes just fine. I do use nonfat milk to steam for my cappuccino every morning. It even steams better than milk with more fat.

Eggs are a real conundrum. Yes, you can eat a few a week, Eating a lot of them may be a problem. There are studies that show that more than four or five a week is a problem for prostate cancer patients. It’s the yolks that are the problem.
I have followed these diet recommendations for years. I’ve had prostate cancer for 16 years. It has reoccurred four times. I have BRCA2, which makes it very aggressive. If I stop or cut back the pills I’m taking for a very short time my PSA rises quickly . I am 78 and run on a track twice a day for a mile and go to the gym three days a week for an hour to work on weights.
All of those things are supposed to help keep the cancer from returning quickly. Maybe they work, I’m just glad that the drug I’m on now keeps working, I’ve had 25 months of undetectable cancer.
