Cancer researchers at Princeton have discovered that malignant tumors' metabolism is significantly slower than expected. The article linked to below provides more information.
The researchers commented that malignant tumors use one particular nutrient, glucose, more than normal tissues, thus aligning with the possibility of combining standard cancer therapies with diets that reduce circulating glucose, like the ketogenic diet.
Study doesn’t refer to prostate cancer. Only lung and colon cancer
Not true for prostate cancer.
Well thats a bummer. Is the glucose section untrue. That is, do PCa tumors not consume glucose? Is a ketogenic diet not appropriate? Appreciate your elaborating on your comment. Many thanks.
PCa does not preferentially consume glucose - in later stages it may. Why is that a bummer? There is no evidence that diet makes any difference.
The bummer is that there is apparently no dietary approach to fighting PCa that is effective.
"There is no evidence that diet makes any difference," you wrote.
Or did I misunderstand your comment? I'm sorry if I did.
I would disagree that diet doesn't matter in the fight. While it may not have a proven effect on PC we are also fighting the effects of the the treatments. Overall physical and mental health will remain as important as the treating the disease and diet plays a large role in the former.
No evidence that diet makes a difference for PCa progression, but healthy eating protects us from a variety of health problems that may be more serious.
I have changed my diet e.g. cut down on portion sizes, stopped eating white rice, pasta , and potatoes. I still eat, chicken, fish, and steak but only about 70 or 80 g at one sitting. I do this to try and lose the 12kgs (about 27lbs) I gained over the two years on Lupron. I exercise 3 times a week a mix of cardio and resistance . Over the last 4 weeks I am losing 1 Kg per week and hope to continue the trend to my desired weight of about 82kgs. I am slowly gaining muscle and losing fat. Apart from the horrible view of my naked fat self in my full length mirror I want to be in good shape if I have to undergo further treatment ....the jury is still out on that point...next april will be my first PSA test having finished LUPRON.
I do not believe my diet & exercise will influence my cancer, but it will give me a fighting chance against the side affects of any future treatment....plus I'll be able to fit in to my favourite pair of old jeans Lol. Exercise and diet for general and mental health ...when someone is capable.... is better than pills.
Good going! Keep it up. 👍
Nice info. So good to see someone actually writing about real treatments than the constant Big Pharma useless propaganda.
while there is no verified proof diet slows prostate cancer, it will help prevent heart disease. An anti inflammatory diet works systematically, which in turn helps our immune system. Additives and preservatives can cause inflammation. So all in all a good BMI just makes sense for better health, without being a cure all.
Not always. I know cancer patients who are not sweet eaters and always have eaten very healthy diets. Cancer is not a one size fits all.
A high fat diet has been proven to make prostate cancer worse, not a high sugar diet. (Although less sugar is always better for health.)

Try searching: Weill Cornell Medicine High-Fat Diet Contributes to Prostate Cancer Progression. The link to the actual study is in the article.
My husband's then-MO made us aware of it back in 2018/2019 so I've been following it since then. Most people think (as we did) that sugar feeds prostate cancer, so I was surprised when he originally told us it wasn't sugar, but fat, that is the one to avoid if you want your diet to help slow down progression.
Chocolate chip ice cream ..... (two scoops)....
Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
