Found this interesting today, so I thought I would post it. I apologize if someone has already.

Or if you have reoccurrence will slow doubling time. Am I correct there, according to these studies, or was that not addressed???

You might as well add a IP-6 capsule to the Pom, Turmeric, Broccoli....PTB for men's health..I wonder how long it will be before we see an end-bunker display for these pills at the health-food store...What ever happened to Saw Palmetto? Last time I saw it, it was on the bottom shelf over in the corner...

But yeah, these supplements don't cost 50 or 100 thousand $ for a course of treatment and the drug companies can't patent them so you won't see them advertized on TV... Like many of us, I take my handful of pills every morning..Can't hurt...

Also been reading about the benefits
of pomergranate in pc, but if it rises
testosterone levels when during ht the
aim is to lower t-levels? Or i just got it
wrong..?

PTB = Pomegranate, Turmeric, Broccoli....

Why is broccoli always good for you? The only vegetable that I truly dislike the taste of and it never, never shows up on the list of things that could cause cancer or hemorrhoids or something bad.

Why do all the studies show it as something good? Nothing that tastes that bad should be good for you.

It's not your fault! It's your genes that made you hate broccoli.

Variability in a taste-receptor gene determines whether we taste toxins in food

Try a dash of vinegar on the Broccoli....that gives it a little flavor.

First on the Pomegranate topic of this thread - from the National Cancer Institute regarding clinical studies of the effects of Pomegranate on PCa:

"Have any clinical trials (research studies with people) of pomegranate been conducted?

 

Two clinical trials that studied pomegranate in prostate cancer patients have been fully reported:

 

In a study of patients with rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels after surgery or radiation therapy, patients were given 8 ounces of pomegranate juice daily for up to 33 months. Drinking pomegranate juice was related to a slowing of PSA doubling time (how long it takes PSA levels in the blood to increase by 100 percent). In addition, when prostate cancer cells (LNCaP) in the lab were treated with study patients’ blood before and after the study, there was a decrease in cell growth and increase in cell death following pomegranate treatment.

 

In a study of patients with rising PSA levels after therapy for localized prostate cancer, patients were given 1 gram or 3 gram doses of pomegranate extract. Both doses of pomegranate extract were related to a slowing of PSA doubling time."

I drink 8 ounces of Pom every day with lunch, and actually like the taste.  And about the Broccoli - I actually like the taste of Broccoli as well!  I steam mine, and add Oregano as my spice of choice.

 

I thought I was the only one: broccoli is from the pits of hell. yuck. and when I am king of the world, still working on that goal, mayonnaise and ranch dressing will be banned, and carry the death penalty if any one is found in possession of either.

Broccoli and pasta with olive oil and garlic is quite good. If you really want to cover the broccoli taste you can throw in a few anchovies.

I don't think anyone dislikes vegetables as much as I do. Growing up in New York City, my parents made me sit at the table until the "plate was clean." Being a true Vegephobe*, I would never let a vegetable touch any of the other food on my plate, let alone eat one! So there I would sit, as time ticked mercilessly on, until both parents tired of watching me and retreated to the living room. Alas, into my pockets went the veggies. Then scoop, swish...out the 5th floor window they went! I often wonder what the pedestrians below were thinking when they were snowed on by peas and carrots.

*Lachanophobia: A fear that can leave one sweating and stricken with panic attacks at the merest sight of a sprout or a pea.

To this day, I cannot eat a cooked vegetable. But I can eat some raw, such as broccoli. In fact, I recently bought a juicer. Each and everyday now, I juice a bunch of veggies together for my husband and I at lunchtime. Served this way, we enjoy all the health benefits. And, a big bonus is the fact that the juice tastes nothing like vegetable juice. In fact, it tastes just like grass clippings. :)

Sephie,
The olive oil and the garlic sound divine! I would need an awful lot though to camouflage the taste of the vegetables. And, then there is the issue of the texture... warm, soggy and just generally yucky. Oh, dear, my inner child is reemerging. :)

I adore a Bronx accent! My dad was from the Bronx. I am sure your use of the English language is wonderful. Me... I spent my early childhood in Manhattan, then moved to suburbia. My husband and I now live in New Joisey. ~ Catti
