Low fat, plant based diets may help prevent or slow the progression of prostate cancer, according to a new research review. A number of studies, though not all, have suggested that eating plenty of fruits and vegetables may help ward off prostate cancer, while "Western" style diets heavy in animal fat and dairy products may increase a man's risk of developing the disease. In the current study, researchers reviewed 25 previously published studies that examined the effects of plant-based diets on prostate cancer development or progression.
