ADT & Diet: What are others generally eating in a day?

@zzotte
Oh, I absolutely agree : ))) - the bigger variety if healthy stuff we eat , the better 👯‍♀️ : )))

"Statistical data shows that Asian and Pacific Islander men have the lowest documented incidence and diagnosis rates of prostate cancer compared to other major racial and ethnic groups globally and in the United States. Data from the National Institutes of Health (.gov) and Stanford University indicate an average rate of roughly 59.3 per 100,000 men, which is significantly lower than rates seen in Caucasian, Hispanic, and Black populations."

The belief is that it is because of soy consumption (milk, tofu, soy sauce, etc).

Over-consumption of anything can cause problems, even consuming too much water. lol

So yeah, normal amount of dietary soy is OK - eating tons of it (or anything else ) is not . ; )

Soy contains high levels of phytoestrogens, which are plant compounds called isoflavones that structurally mimic human estrogen. Now that we have PATCH study showing that estrogen patch works as well as ADT for prostate cancer suppression , I do not see how any doctor can put soy in "questionable" category ???

@surftohealth88 While Soy is generally accepted as being ‘good’ for PCa, there are MANY variables that affect its ability to exert positive effects on any given population. In fact, it has both androgenic and estrogenic effects, so which one is doing the job??
I read an 12 page article on ICUROLOGY.ORG which for some strange reason I cannot seem to paste to the forum, exploring the different kinds of soy products and the men it positively affects.
In a stunning turnaround, it seems to have NO effect on Asian men - something that’s been drummed into our heads for decades; it does, however, have a positive effect on Latino and Black men.
Also, the benefit is directly related to the grams of unfermented soy (milk - NOT tofu!) consumed per day and that # is approx 150 grams…a LOT!
Finally, any benefit at all was small and ONLY clinically significant in men with small, localized PCa or low grade PCa; it had ZERO effect on men with intermediate grade or higher.
So all the talk about the wonders of soy seem highly exaggerated.
I urge anyone pursuing soy as an alternative to dairy to find this article and read it; it is a meta analysis of ALL studies ever done relating to soy and PCa and covers millions of men in those studies.
If I can find a way to download it here I will…Best,
