Milk is a kind of very nutritious drink, so more and more people begin to drink milk every day. However, a lot of modern studies have found out that, the men who often drink milk are more susceptible to prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor in male reproductive system. A research group in Boston carried out a follow-up survey on 20,885 cases of American male physicians for more than 11 years. The main dairy products provided to these men included skimmed milk, whole milk, cheese, and so on. The result of the research showed that, among all the men surveyed, there were 1012 cases suffering from prostate cancer.
Through nearly ten years of epidemiological study, researchers in Philadelphia in America also confirmed that, too much intake of dairy products will increase the risk of prostate cancer in male. There are also some domestic studies which have found out that, the intake amount of milk is closely related with the incidence of prostate cancer. The reason may be that some brands of milk contain a high level of estrogen. Fortunately, some kinds of fruits and vegetables contain some plant compounds, which have certain anti-cancer effect. Lycopene is one of the most effective anti-cancer nutrients. It is a kind of important carotenoid, which is widely existing in many fruits and vegetables.
There are a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables containing plenty of lycopene, such as tomato, apricot, guava, watermelon, papaya, red grapes, and so on, and it is the most abundant in tomato. American researchers have found out that, compared to those who do not eat tomatoes, the men who eat tomatoes 2 to 4 times every week are less likely to suffer from prostate cancer. And the risk of suffering from prostate cancer can be reduced by 26%.
The antioxidant property of lycopene is the strongest in all the natural carotenoids. It has the effects of protecting the genetic material DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells, regulating the level of hormone, and so on. Its anti-prostate cancer effect has been confirmed by a lot of studies. As a result, in order to care for the prostate, men should not drink too much milk, and do not take it as a beverage. What's more, they should pay special attention to the balance of nutrition, and try to eat more tomatoes every day, which is very beneficial to men's health.
