Nutrition

  • Eating too much sugar can increase both the risk of getting prostate cancer and the chance of prostate cancer coming back. Sugar from soft drinks, baked goods and candy can add up to extra calories that can lead to weight gain, which increases the risk of prostate cancer. Too much processed sugar and refined grains such as white bread can also lead to weight gain around your waist and increase insulin levels in your blood. High levels of insulin are associated with faster-growing, more aggressive types of prostate cancer.
  • Sugar from fruit is different from sugar from pastries, soft drinks and other sweets because it comes packaged with fibre, vitamins, antioxidants and other plant nutrients that help protect against cancer. The fibre in fruits also helps prevent blood sugar spikes, leading to lower insulin levels. Research has shown that fructose, the natural sugar found in fruit, may lower risk of prostate cancer. Overall, getting more fruit and vegetables in your diet can lower your risk of prostate and other types of cancer.
  • Saturated fat from meat and milk products may increase the risk of prostate cancer. Choose low fat milk products such as skim milk and 0% M.F. (milk fat) Greek yogurt or try milk alternatives such as almond milk fortified with vitamin D.
