To: Print and broadcast journalists covering health, wellness,
and fitness
What: Secretary of State Colin Powell is only the most recent
prominent man to undergo surgery for prostate cancer, of
which 30,000 American men died last year, according to the
American Cancer Society. The most common cancer among
American men, it is not only treatable; its risk factors
can be highly reduced through proper diet.
Who: Dr. Mike Nichols, founder of California's TempusClinic,
is available for comment. Dr. Nichols says, "Men perceive
prostate cancer as the likely bane of their aging. But
never forget that most men who have prostate cancer die,
not from prostate cancer, but from heart disease; so keep
prostate cancer in perspective. That said, prostate
cancer, of all cancers, has been shown to be most closely
linked to diet. Multiple well-done studies have
demonstrated the protective effects of:
-- the Omega three fatty acids from fish and other
sources;
-- lycopene from tomatoes; and
-- selenium from any source.
"In other words, a healthy diet that is rich in nuts and
seeds and fresh vegetables, and in protein sources rich in
the Omega threes, protects against prostate cancer as well
as heart disease. The body wants to heal; give it a hand
by eating right and training hard."
