If you've been diagnosed with prostate cancer, it is better to lay off Western diet, as it increases risk of both prostate cancer-related and overall mortality.

Researchers examined the health and diet data from 926 men participating in the Physicians’ Health Study I and II who were diagnosed with prostate cancer. They found that men who ate mostly a Western diet had 2.5 times higher risk of prostate cancer-related death, and a 67% increased risk of death from any cause, than those in the lowest quartile. Men who ate mostly a ’prudent’ diet had a 36% lower risk of death from all causes.
Lead author Meng Yang, research fellow at Harvard, said, "The results are encouraging and added to the scant literature on this area, but it was important to keep in mind that all study participants are physicians and most are white."
The study appears online in Cancer Prevention Research.
