Can vegan diet and HIIT workouts move the needle?

Hi-good discussion. I use NutritionFacts.org, a non-profit organization that specializes in nutrition- here's what their chatbot answered:
The best available evidence points to a whole food, plant-based diet centered around fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes (chickpeas, lentils, beans, tofu). In a landmark randomized controlled trial, Dr. Dean Ornish and colleagues appeared to slow, stop, and even reverse the progression of early-stage prostate cancer with just such a diet — no chemo, no surgery, no radiation. After one year, the subjects' bloodstreams were nearly eight times better at suppressing the growth of cancer cells, and biopsies showed a downregulation of critical cancer genes.

So what should we eat more of? Tomatoes, broccoli-family vegetables, soy foods, and flax seeds have all been associated with decreased prostate cancer risk. And what should we cut back on? Meat, dairy, eggs, poultry, and refined carbohydrates have all been linked to increased risk. In fact, men with more aggressive cancer who regularly ate chicken and turkey had up to four times the risk of prostate cancer progression — even worse than red meat! Eggs showed a significant twofold increased risk of progression as well.

The good news is, regardless of whether we elect chemo, surgery, or radiation, we can always improve our diets. A prostate-healthy diet is a breast-healthy diet is a heart-healthy diet is a body-healthy diet.

@drcopp
I went looking at the website NutritionFacts.org And I can’t find any reference to chicken that says it’s four times worse than red meat. The only comment I found was roasted chicken being a problem, Not baked for example.

Was that the same site that discussed “ men with more aggressive cancer who regularly ate chicken and turkey had up to four times the risk of prostate cancer progression”?

I have pretty aggressive cancer. I eat chicken and turkey a lot, Not read meat though, very seldom. I’ve been undetectable for the last 33 months after 16 years of prostate cancer and four reoccurrences. I would definitely like to find where you found that information. I saw them talking about broiled chicken. Maybe they’re also thinking about fried chicken, but I eat baked chicken and turkey.. Is it the way it’s prepared that’s the problem.

I would definitely like to know more information about this.

@drcopp This is quackery? Ornish is a nut case.
