A recent medical study found that people who have a large amount of calories in their daily diet are more likely to suffer from prostate cancer regardless of the food they eat and their weight.
This medical study investigated the dietary structure of 444 men aged above middle age. The study found that those with high caloric intake were nearly four times more likely to develop prostate cancer than those with low caloric intake. Among these subjects, 46 men had been diagnosed with prostate cancer before the investigation, while 22 were diagnosed with prostate cancer after participating in the study.
For a long time, it is not clear what effect diet has on the occurrence of prostate cancer. In the past, some studies believed that foods with high animal fat content, such as meat and dairy products, would promote the occurrence of prostate cancer. However, other studies have found that there is no link between high animal fat diet and prostate cancer. The recently published research results show that the total amount of heat cards, whether from fat, protein or carbohydrate, has an impact on the formation of prostate cancer. If a person's daily caloric intake is always around 2600 calories, it can be regarded as a high-calorie diet, with a high risk of prostate cancer. Compared with those who keep their daily caloric intake below 1100 calories, the former has a 3.8 times higher risk of prostate cancer.
The researchers also said that the experimental results showed that the adverse effects of high-calorie diet were the same for people with normal weight and overweight. The mechanism of prostate cancer caused by high calorie intake is that high calorie intake can increase the content of some hormones in men. For example, there is an insulin-like growth factor in the human circulatory system, which is related to the formation of prostate cancer. In addition to the fact that a large intake of caloric acid can contribute to the development of prostate cancer, researchers also found that a diet high in fat and calcium can promote the development of prostate cancer to the advanced stage. It is estimated that more than half of men in the United States will have some kind of cancer cells in their prostate at the age of 80, but not many people die of prostate cancer, because prostate cancer is a relatively slow developing cancer.
