A recent Medscape headline caught my eye, “Plant-Based Diet a Boon for Men with Prostate Cancer” [1]. The original article, published in a current edition of the journal Cancer, examined the effects of a plant-based dietary pattern on quality of life among men diagnosed with prostate cancer [2]. The authors explained that a plant-centered dietary pattern consists of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and whole grains with low animal protein intake.
