Dietary link to prostate cancer...

Drinking soda raises risk of prostate cancer: study says:
Men who drink one normal-sized soft drink per day are at greater risk of getting more aggressive forms of prostate cancer, according to a Swedish study released Monday.
"Among the men who drank a lot of soft drinks or other drinks with added sugar, we saw an increased risk of prostate cancer of around 40 percent," said Isabel Drake, a PhD student at Lund University.
The study, to be published in the upcoming edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, followed over 8,000 men from Malmö in southern Sweden who were aged 45 to 73 for an average of 15 years.
Those who drank one 330-millilitre soft drink a day were 40 percent more likely to develop more serious forms of prostate cancer that required treatment.
The cancer was discovered after the men showed symptoms of the disease, and not through the screening process known as Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA).
Those who ate a diet heavy on rice and pasta increased their risk of getting milder forms of prostate cancer, which often required no treatment, by 31 percent, while a high intake of sugary breakfast cereals raised the incidence of milder forms of the cancer to 38 percent, Drake told AFP.
While further research was needed before dietary guidelines could be changed, there are already plenty of reasons a person should cut back on soft-drink consumption, she noted.
The men in the study had to undergo regular medical examinations and kept a journal of their food and drink intake.
Previous studies have shown that Chinese and Japanese immigrants in the US develop prostate cancer more often than peers in their home countries.
Further research on how genes respond to different diets would make it possible to "tailor food and drink guidelines for certain high-risk groups," Drake said.

I'm not a health professional, and I'm not belittling your post, Lost_bmw, but it seems to me that just about everything is somehow linked to cancer.
Posting on the internet definitely is, loads of evidence... just saying like!Lost_BMW said:

Cheers for that, its interesting - life is a minefield out there - i've got a really close mate who I used to call the lung as he was so bloody quick when i'd go out running with him - cut a long story short 4/5 years ago he was taking a spinning class finished it then collapsed, i took the p*ss out of him on the phone saying he was "weak" etc. 12 months later collapsed and fitted ended up he had a brain tumour now has 24/36 months left, although i've no doubt he'll challenge that.

Prehaps i've changed the subject a tad there but you just can't tell whats going to happen regardless of what you do.
All too true - had two colleagues die from brain tumours, a bloke we used to sprint against dying of a brain haemorrhage at 31 and a friend's dad - fit as a fiddle, seemingly - dying of a heart attack at 50 something the day after going to the football with us and having done 20+ mile cycle ride the day before. I never knew brain issues were so common esp. in younger people until a few years back.
When I saw the original article - struck by the fact that I keep buying diet cokes when I'm travelling - I did wonder about posting, anticipating attacks for scaremongering and that we keep being told cancer is caused by life and everything in it. But, given my uncle, grandfather and a neighbour's dad all died from prostate cancer thought that if there is anything in it (the high simple sugar intake hopefully, given it seems to be more than one soft drink and any chemical in it?) and it encouraged any reader to change their habits in a way that might, just might, save them it would be worth any likely brickbats.

Yep your right - Straight away I thought oh no I always have sugar in my tea and coffee!When I saw the original article - struck by the fact that I keep buying diet cokes when I'm travelling - I did wonder about posting, anticipating attacks for scaremongering and that we keep being told cancer is caused by life and everything in it.
