Re: Obesity prostate cancer protection?

[Guest guest]

Hi folks:

Gosh! Well if slim men are more prone to prostate cancer then

perhaps we should be paying extra attention to ways to protect

against it. The following is a list I put together some time ago of

possible strategies culled from studies I have seen over time. As we

all know, not infrequently subsequent studies contradict previous

ones. Indeed some of those below appear to be contradictory. So

there are no guarantees here, of course. Just fwiw:

I believe Jeff Novick pointed out there is enough fat present already

in the tomato itself for adequate absorption. (I don't like the idea

of taking extra fat)

Hi folks:

For those interested to follow previous, fairly comprehensive,

discussions here on tomatoes, lycopene and fat, an archive search

using the words " tomato fat " will get you to all of it I think. I

just tried it. It brings up plenty of stuff.
