Ep. 187: Dr. Benny Gavi and Maya Eylon - Prevent Prostate Cancer with These Four Foods

What do cruciferous vegetables, tomatoes, soy, and green tea all have in common?

According to hundreds of scientific studies, they all can drastically reduce the risk of prostate cancer in men.

Here are a few facts:

• Prostate cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer in men

• One in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their life

• Sadly, one in 40 will succumb to this disease

However, much like heart disease and many other lifestyle diseases, this cancer can mostly be prevented, and today's guests lay out the extensive research and practical solutions in their book, Preventing Prostate Cancer: Reduce Your Risk with Simple, Proactive Choices

Dr. Benny Gavi, Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Stanford University, teamed up with researcher Maya Eylon to compile more than one hundred recent, reliable, and relevant international studies on the effects of diet on prostate health.

As you probably guessed, all signs point to a whole-food, plant-based diet, combined with exercise and screenings, as your best defense against prostate cancer.

Today, we discuss some of their research, along with outlining the biggest cancer-fighting foods to consume on a regular basis.

27:28 Green Tea

They also share research on foods you should avoid, including meat, dairy, and eggs in excess

This book is a powerful tool to empower men (and those of you who love those men) to make healthy, lifestyle changes that can save thousands of lives.
