View Full Version : Worst Foods for Prostate Health
For the FOG's,, Here is the list of ten Worst Foods for Prostate Health.
I don't use plastic sugar,, but the rest.. Guess that's why I'm known as a PITA..
I just gonna hav't eat my collection of the Herman Cain campaign signs for more fiber?? :eek:
http://www.prostate.net/2011/articles/lists/red-and-processed-meat-worst-food-for-prostate-health/
Is there anything we can eat that's good for us,, and not based on tree bark??? :munchin
Well, gee...thanks...off t gather some pine cones....what can I mix with them???
Evrtything I like is on that list..:confused:
Guess we have to stop all the additives and do the european thing....fresh, no chemicals/additives, and go shopping daily.
All my favorite foods too. Unfortunately, I had to have my prostate removed due to cancer at age 60. I have always advocated getting regular prostate checks and it worked for me.

I believe the theme to be
1. Organic
2. Local
3. Low red-meat consumption...if you must refer to #1 and 2
4. NO processed. If it comes out of a box or if the ingredient list is more than a handful of recognizable words...it's probably not something to put into yourself.
5. Sweeteners: Never did the artificial sweeteners anyhow. White sugar is highly processed. Raw sugar can be replaced for some things...and there are some natural alternatives that can be used as well.
A lot of groceries are expanding on their organic and more natural product lines. You don't have to hang out at Whole Foods and dump a paycheck, but it takes some discipline to find the "good" stuff.
Glebo...Spot-on. When possible, shop like the Germans. When the farm stands are kicking locally, we live off those. Still no guarantee of organic, but less processed since it comes from down the street. For beef we do grass-fed and no-hormone. Little pricier and the cuts are not as large, but we Americans go a little crazy on portion sizes anyhow.

There is this aspect to consider:

Every so many years they come up with a list of killer foods. I say bullshit since every so many years they admit they screwed up and so and so food is really good for you. Example? How about potatoes were the death nell for anyone who ate them?
Now it is meat and dairy products.
Eat sensibly, eat in moderation and screw the so called vegetarian experts.
Vegetarian - Old Indian word for lousy hunter. :munchin :D

Here is some news on prostate cancer detection and treatment that I think everyone over 40 should read. It is from one of the worlds most respected and conservative publications, not the usual internet dubiousness.
http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2011/10/diagnosing-cancer
I will have to second longeange1947 and also call bullshit. There is definatley a push here to buy more expensive organic products. And really there is no way to tell who will come down with what and when. 2 people eating a diet of twinkies for 20 years and you can not tell which 1 will come down with cancer.
The thing is that we will all probably get some form of illness sometime or another in our lives no matter what we do. And because of other factors such as genetic there is really no way to determine anything...smoking cigs can cause cancer,though not all who smoke get cancer.
Pesticides and fertilizer and insecticide free? I think that is a myth as through rain and run off water everything leaches into the soil around and there is already so much of that in the soil anyways. More humane to grass feed and range free before slaughter?
Right...
It would not surprise me if the authors of these types of articles have some investments in Whole Foods or such.
People have been eating and drinking milk and dairy products for thousands of years and not everybody gets prostate cancer.
Mayo clinic took my prostate when I was 60, I was on a "Miss Piggie" diet, "Never eat more than you can lift".
I've balanced my diet since.
Life is like being at a really cool theme park, you can't go on ALL the rides and it's safest if you don't go on any rides, but whats the point ? :D
You can become a vegan exercise nut and go into the grave healthy....
Or you can go sliding in sideways saying "Man, that was one hell of a ride!"
The choice is your's. I think I'll have a big steak with steak fries - and maybe a little salad on the side tonight.
They just want us to starve to death...it's quicker! ;)
As to the popcorn: I just put regular popcorn in a paper lunch-bag, roll the top down a few times, then pop it in the micro! Done in about 3 minutes.

Yeah, well - in my book, swallowing semen is bad for one's prostate, among other things, so I have always avoided it.
As for that list...:rolleyes:
And so it goes...

My great-grandmother lived to be 98. She ate a regular farm diet of the day, lots of lard, fried food, high fat/cholesterol and processed smoked meats full of nitrites. She was obese and dipped snuff for many years.
Her son, my grandfather survived polio as a child, smoked three packs per day of unfiltered Lucky Strikes, Camels, or Pall Malls for more than 60 years, and drank a quart of whiskey a week, much of it homemade. As a tobacco farmer, he was constantly exposed to toxins, poisons, and pesticides, most of which are banned today. He was overweight, ate the same things as his mother, loved fatback with his breakfast, smoked his own ham and sausage, and made it to 86.
My Dad did not smoke, rarely drank, and worked for the telephone company. He ate relatively sensibly, watched his weight, and died of colon cancer at age 68.
Statistics are frequently misleading, and cause and effect are not always understood.
You choose your risks and pleasures, and eventually we will all die from something.

My mother died of colon cancer at 31, I was 6.
I think everything in moderation. Although I personally try to stay away from processed foods mostly because I enjoy cooking and eating with fresh foods, especially in the summer. Hitting the local farmers markets and farms are inspirational.
Red wine is good for your heart.
Pizza is a vegetable.
That's my story and I'm stickin to it!;)

Shit...got that right...I coulda went to the grave in 86...but a 1/8" made the difference.
Since then...screw it, if he wanted me, well, then wasn't the time...do what ya want...
Wonder what would happen though...if every one DID know their expiration date???:rolleyes:...I know there'd be alot less people here..well, there...ya know what I mean..:eek:
My Dad lived on steak and potatoes (French Fries, Pan Fried in bacon grease, mashed, baked) and except for corn and tomatoes, he never touched a veggie. Breakfast was bacon or sausage, fried eggs and potatoes pan fried in bacon grease. He was just short of 87 when he passed. At 86 his PSA was less than 1. He had polio and scarlet fever as a young boy (neither left him with any problems) and never spent a day in the hospital as an adult, until he was 80 and hospitalized for diabetes (he hadn't been to a doctor in 4 years).
At the age of 49 my PSA was 4.1 and biopsies confirmed that I had prostate cancer. I had my prostate removed 5 years later, after my PSA had risen to 11.4.
Today, fifteen years later (I'm considered cured), my urologist (in a case like mine) would recommend HIFU rather than surgery.

My father was the youngest of seven children and died of prostate cancer at 73. His older brothers who are still alive are now in their 80s and 90s and remain in good health.
I've known heavy smokers and unhealthy eaters who lived to be a ripe old age.
I think it's more in the genes.

Of course you could live a very healthy life until you brain gives out and some nurse starts wiping your ass for you as your body lives on. :munchin :D :D

Indeed, and a recent find seems to bolster that consensus: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/01/30/researchers-find-cancer-in-ancient-egyptian-mummy/
My grandmother(fathers side) lived 'till 89, smoked two packs a day unfiltered for over 40 years. On the other hand, my grandfather(mothers side) smoked the occasional pipe and died relatively young from emphysema...

I thought I was healthy. Always physically active. Pernickety about what I eat. Don't drink. Don't smoke.
Diagnosed with cancer in my groin and been lying on my back for the last two months after several operations.
So I reckon it makes no flippen difference what your eating and other habits are.
(cancer removed and just recuperating from the tissue grafts now)
Avoided it altogether or just swallowing :)

Roast potatoes cooked in goose fat will do the trick. I have seen her do it on TV.

Lotta people say it's money or sex, but most savvy people who engage life at full-speed KNOW that many marriages have taken the same path as a Carnival cruise liner due to insufficient bacon.

French Fries fried in Duck fat are supposed to be the best... So potatoes in goose fat? Works for me...
I agree with most people in this thread. Moderation, a little exercise, as little fake food ( processed) as possible and live your life as merrily as possible.
We'll all hit the grave sooner or later.
