Ground or processed meat increases the risk of prostate cancer

Ground or processed meat increases the risk of prostate cancer

The more you eat ground or processed meat, the greater the chance of developing an aggressive type of prostate cancer, according to a study published in the journal PLoS ONE. The results were based on the meat eating habits of nearly 1000 participants, of which 470 had an aggressive type of prostate cancer and another 512 were in the control group. control. These men reported not only their meat consumption but also the way it was prepared and the degree of cooking of the food. At the end of the study, it was found that the largest association between meat and aggressive types of prostate cancer it was in the ground or processed meat. As for the way of preparation, the grilled or roasted meats, since best passed, were the most associated with the type of cancer. On the other hand, the consumption of more poorly aged or medium-cooked meats was not associated with more aggressive prostate cancer.

Excess alcohol is linked to prostate cancer

Excessive consumption of alcohol, especially when it comes to beer, increases the risk for aggressive prostate cancer, according to a new study. The initial aim of the study was not to determine the effect of alcohol consumption on the risks of prostate cancer but to test the efficacy of Finasteride , a medicine prescribed to prevent the disease. Scientists found that the drink reduces the drug's prevention effect.

The research, which included more than 10,000 men, found that those who drank heavily (about 50 grams of alcohol a day), the equivalent of four doses of liquor for five or more days in the week, were about twice as likely to develop what is called high-grade prostate cancer. There was no difference in the risk of prostate cancer between abstainers and those who drank moderately. The majority of participants drank beer, although researchers agree there is no particular reason to differentiate the risks of this type of drink from others.

The highest incidence of prostate cancer is low grade. The disease develops slowly, and 100% of men live with it for at least 10 years, and it is not always the disease that causes them to die. In cases of high-grade prostate cancer, survival for a decade drops to 60-70%.

Little contact with nature may increase risk of asthma and other allergies

Lack of exposure to nature may be increasing the incidence of asthma and other allergies among city dwellers, according to a study by the University of Helsinki, Finland. Scientists claim that certain bacteria, noted in other studies as beneficial to human health, are found to be more abundant in rural environments.
