Generally speaking, nobody likes to be told what to eat or what not to eat, especially when it’s their favourite meal in question.
Prostate cancer is one of the biggest threats to a man’s health and, as much it might hurt, there are some foods that contribute to this dreaded disease that need to be reduced in a man’s diet.
Red Meat Or Processed Meat

This is indeed a tough one. A high consumption of red meat or processed meat could increase the chances of prostate cancer, especially when the meat is well cooked. This is because of the presence of Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) which are carcinogens found in cooked meat. These HCAs are responsible for a number of cancers and are largely associated with prostate cancer.
Meats like beef, pork, hot dogs, suya and sausages fall under the category and their consumption should be reduced. Lean poultry (chicken or turkey) or fish are a good replacement for red meat.
