The Canadian Cancer Society<\/a> estimates that more than 23,000 Canadians will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2020. Among other risk factors, more and more studies point to diet as a major factor in the development of prostate cancer, as it is for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using data from a study conducted in Montreal between 2005 and 2012, a research team led by Professor Marie-\u00c9lise Parent<\/a> of Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) has shown a link between diet and prostate cancer in the article \u201cDietary Patterns Are Associated with Risk of Prostate Cancer in a Population-Based Case-Control Study in Montreal, Canada\u201d<\/a>, published in Nutrients<\/a><\/em> in June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"L\u2019alimentation<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Three main dietary profiles analyzed<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

INRS PhD student Karine Trudeau, the lead author of the study, based her analysis on three main dietary profiles: healthy diet, salty Western diet including alcohol, and sugar-rich Western diet with beverages. The first profile leans heavily towards fruits, vegetables, and plant proteins like tofu and nuts. The salty Western diet with alcohol includes more meat and beverages such as beer and wine. The third profile is rich in pasta, pizza, desserts, and sugary carbonated drinks. The study took age, ethnicity, education, family history, and date of last prostate cancer screening into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marie-\u00c9lise Parent and Karine Trudeau found a link between a healthy diet and a lower risk of prostate cancer. Conversely, a Western diet with sweets and beverages was associated with a higher risk and seemed to be a factor in more aggressive forms of cancer. The study did not show any clear link between a Western diet with salt and alcohol and the risk of developing the disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving away from the typical approach used in epidemiological studies, which involves looking at one nutrient or food group at a time, the researchers collected data from a broader dietary profile. \u201cIt\u2019s not easy to isolate the effect of a single nutrient,\u201d explained Ms. Trudeau. \u201cFor example, foods rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, promote iron absorption. Calcium is often found in dairy products, which also contain vitamin D. Our more targeted approach takes this synergy into account to produce more meaningful results that public health authorities can use to formulate recommendations. Rather than counting on one miracle food, people should look at their overall diet.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor a long time we\u2019ve suspected that diet might play a role in the development of prostate cancer, but it was very hard to pinpoint the specific factors at play,\u201d said Professor Parent. \u201cThis study is significant because it looks at dietary habits as a whole. We\u2019ve uncovered evidence that, we hope, can be used to develop prevention strategies for prostate cancer, the most common cancer among men in Canada and many other countries.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
