@surftohealth88 Yes, I think it's very fair to say that while avoiding sugar won't have any direct effect on the prostate cancer itself, moderating it can reduce the risk of prostate-cancer treatment side-effects like diabetes and obesity, so it's still a good idea not to overdo the sweets.

Cheers!

Yes AND obesity has direct effect on PC itself !

Obesity is a significant, modifiable risk factor for aggressive, advanced, and fatal prostate cancer.

Obese men BMI >30 face up to a 35% higher risk of death from prostate cancer and are more likely to experience disease recurrence.
