Micronutrients, including the carotenoid lycopene may play a role in prostate cancer prevention and prognosis

[George71]

ASCO 2019

"Given the recently available data regarding insulin resistance and adipokine influence on prostate cancer, dietary strategies targeting metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and obesity should be further explored. In macronutrient-focused therapies, low carbohydrate/ketogenic diets should be favored in such interventions because of their superior impact on weight loss and metabolic parameters and encouraging clinical data. Micronutrients, including the carotenoid lycopene which is found in highest concentrations in tomatoes, may also play a role in prostate cancer prevention and prognosis through complementary metabolic mechanisms. The interplay between genetics, diet, and prostate cancer is an area of emerging focus that might help optimize therapeutic dietary response in the future through personalization."

If they could only lower salt content. Love V-8 but to salty. Hate raw tomatoes.

And the broader point is -- finally ASCO 2019 and the mainstream med community acknowledges that supplemental mineral / vitamin / dietary .. "is an area of emerging focus that might help optimize therapeutic dietary response"
