Dairy / Choline relation to prostate cancer growth

Sorry if this has been discussed already but I am curious what the latest science/studies say about dairy consumption and choline consumption and it's effects on existing prostate cancer. I've read non-randomized studies from 2010 that say choline (particularly from egg yolks and chicken) might speed cancer progression. What's the latest on this?

I'm also confused by the fact that one article I read said that broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage had a fairly high amount of choline in them, which is contradictory to all the reports saying that those cruferious veggies help to slow cancer progression.

I know that the nations with the largest % consumption of dairy products have the highest cancer rates, so is there a direct correlation there, and how does/would organic, non-GMO, cage free, grass fed animals play into these outcomes?

I have coronary artery disease and advanced prostate cancer so I'm trying to ingest healthy foods for both the arteries and the cancer but it gets extra confusing because there seems to be some foods that are good for one but not the other.

I'm not going to stop eating the organic veggies but I am considering stopping the organic kefir, organic yogurt and cage free, non-gmo, non-antibiotic butter and eggs.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

thanks in advance,
George

George, i'm sure you'll get lots of responses over the next few days, although the weekends can be quiet here sometimes.. But there is a high level of interest on this topic by many members.

I agree with 3 jacks, that as far as PC goes, if diet is connected, then what you've eaten for the last 50 or whatever years, probably aint gonna be cancelled out by what you eat for the nex 20.

Like you, i have Coronary Artery Disease, as well as PC although my PC is not advanced. And yup, if you eliminate everything that is supposedly bad for both, you are reduced to eating lettuce. I've taken the approach, that i am more concerned about my heart disease, because thats more likely to kill me than PC will. It took me a while to get to that conclusion, but I'm there. I try to moderate my intake of dairy, but i am not eliminating it, same with sugar, eggs, and all the other bad foods (although in the case of sugar, i've cut back about 90%.

Its hard, but important to strike a balance between doing everything possible to stay healthy, and enjoying life.

Roger-
I am with you sir eat a good balanced diet but probably more important in our situations to have a more immediate benefit is to try to increase our exercise. On MD Linx they have been talking about the benefits of aerobic exercise even saying that it can turn back the clock in certain areas of the brain. Vegans, Meat eaters, Fish eaters, and everyone in between get cancer. The most dangerous thing Americans do is driving down a two lane road!! Do we guit driving down the roads no but we try to drive defensively. That's how I look at food eat in moderation and balanced but if we want to have a piece of pie with some ice cream go for it as it sure is nice to drive down that 2 lane room in ur convertible with the top down on a warm summer day. We get maybe 5 a year up here!!!!

Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful and detailed replies. I agree with most of what was said. What I decided to do for now is eat the organic, cage free vegan fed egg whites only and discard the yoke. I read that all the choline is in the yoke. I am going to discontinue the kefir. I only drink unsweetened almond milk. The only other dairy I ingest is a think pat of unsalted kerrygold grassfed butter in my low acid, mushroom coffee combo.

I do intake my turmeric and most of all the other things that might help fight the cancer and keep my coronary arteries healthy. For many, they will probably die of something other than prostate cancer but with my metastasized (only seen on PSMA so far) aggressive PSA gleason 8 cancer, I'm 52 years old, it's probably about 80% likely that the cancer will do me in before the coronary artery disease. My recent stress test showed no deterioration since 2016, although nobody really knows what can go wrong regarding coronary artery disease/cardiac arrest.

I really did find what Gemlin said to be noteworthy. I used to drinks about three glasses of milk a day and big containers of yogurt a lot when I was 14-19 years old. Could have had something to do with my cancer, which is not genetic.
