Higher insoluble fiber intake is associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer: results from the PLCO cohort

Favoring the consumption of high fiber foods may help curb the development of prostate cancer.

This study looked at the correlation between indulgence in high fiber foods and a man's probability of acquiring prostate cancer. Researchers examined the health data and dietary habits of more than 50,000 US men. 

Researchers observed that a downward trend in the rate of prostate cancer diagnoses among men with increase in the level of consumption of foods high in fiber, especially insoluble fiber. This study pointed out that larger intake of fiber-containing foods may have a role in decreasing the risk of prostate cancer in men.
