The Relationship Between Plant-Based Diet and Risk of Digestive System Cancers: A Meta-Analysis Based on 3,059,009 Subjects . This study found that plant-based diets were protective against cancers of the digestive system. Are strict vegetarians protected against prostate cancer? This study found that vegan diets may confer a lower risk of prostate cancer. Dairy foods, calcium intakes, and risk of incident prostate cancer in Adventist Health Study . This study found that men with higher intake of dairy foods, but not nondairy calcium, had a higher risk of prostate cancer compared with men having lower intakes. Associations were nonlinear, suggesting greatest increases in risk at relatively low doses. Associations between plant-based diets and risk of disease progression in men with prostate cancer. This study indicates that plant-based dietary patterns are associated with lower risk of prostate cancer progression and recurrence. Effect of a plant-based diet on functional outcomes in prostate cancer. This study found that consuming more plant-based food was associated with significantly better scores for the urinary domains of the quality of life questionnaire. Charcuterie linked to colon cancer . French health authorities have found a link between additives used in processed meat and colon cancer. Vegan proteins may reduce risk of cancer, obesity, and cardiovascular disease by promoting increased glucagon activity This study found that low-fat vegan diets may be especially protective in regard to cancers linked to insulin resistance–namely, breast and colon cancer–as well as prostate cancer; conversely, the high IGF-I activity associated with heavy ingestion of animal products may be largely responsible for the epidemic of ‘Western’ cancers in wealthy societies.
