A diet low in fat, high in vegetables and fruit, and avoiding high energy intake, excessive meat, and excessive dairy products and calcium intake may be helpful in preventing prostate cancer, and for men diagnosed with prostate cancer.

What specific foods might provide protection against prostate cancer?

Consider adding the following foods, beverages, and supplements to your meals at least several times a week:

• tomatoes
• cauliflower
• broccoli
• green tea (decaffeinated)
• Vitamin E and selenium supplements

All of these seemed to be linked to a decreased risk of prostate cancer.

What specific foods should be avoided to protect the prostate?

Consumption of highly processed or charcoaled meats, dairy products, and fats seemed to be correlated with prostate cancer.
