Thanks, Randy.
The China Study has a lot of good stuff on prostate cancer prevention in it also.
Cool find.

Here's some more info:

This second article is more detailed and is quite funny because it quotes one physician as saying he's not sure the diet is realistic, or words to that effect.
I think it's more realistic than subjecting yourself to the numerous more invasive methods of approaching this disease.
I hope more physicians are becoming aware of these new directions in research, to give patients more options.

Hi!

Sad but true.

Good point.
I guess it's not for us to judge, but I think it IS for us to make sure we present all options so that people can make informed choices. I wonder if many people are aware of such dietary interventions.
Physicians or patients...
