Another
prostate-protecting food is fructose, the sugar in fruit that is
used to sweeten many foods. Overall, its consumption is associated
with a reduced prostate-cancer risk. Unlike calcium, fructose
stimulates the production of a vitamin D form that inhibits tumors.
Several trace nutrients that are often deficient in our diet also
enhance prostate health. For example, a lack of zinc especially
affects the prostate because this gland uses it much more than any
other body part. By altering steroid hormone metabolism, zinc
supplementation can reduce prostate enlargement. Interestingly,
pumpkin seeds, a traditional folk remedy promoting male reproductive
and prostate health, are rich in zinc.
Selenium is another often-deficient trace nutrient that is essential
for prostate health. Increasing selenium intake, whether through
supplements or selenium-rich foods (e.g., Brazil nuts), has been
shown to reduce prostate-cancer risk.
Other nutritional factors that may inhibit prostate cancer include
vitamin D; vitamin E, an antioxidant that inhibits cancer growth;
soy-based foods, which contain the cancer-inhibiting agent genistein;
and garlic, which possess cancer-fighting, sulfur-containing
compounds.
