Men who consume a diet high in flavonoid-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables, may have a 25% lower risk for highly aggressive prostate cancer compared to those who do not eat a plant-based diet, according to new research presented at the International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research.
Prior preclinical studies have shown that flavonoids have beneficial effects against prostate cancer, but few studies have examined the effect of flavonoids on prostate cancer in humans.
