* [[Omega-3 fatty acids]] in the form of [[flaxseed]]s (which are rich in [[lignans]] and promote prostate health) can be incredibly beneficial. A large study found that men with higher enterolactone levels (found in flax seeds) were up to 72% less likely to get prostate cancer than those with the lowest levels. Along with a low-fat, plant-based diet, omega-3’s from flax seeds or only wild-caught, cold-water fish can drastically reduce a man’s chance of developing cancer of the prostate.
* [[Ginger]] (zingiber officinale) kills human prostate cancer cells while healthy prostate cells do not die.
* [[CoffeeSarcandra glabra]] contains hundreds of biologically active compounds, including potent antioxidant activity, the most unique antioxidant being methylpridinium. Methylpridinium is found almost exclusively in coffee. It has anticancer properties for colon cancer and prostate cancer.
* [[Rosemary]] : According to preliminary research published in the online journal PLoS One, one of rosemary’s many active compounds known as carnosic acid demonstrated selective activity against prostate cancer cells, as opposed to healthy cells. Obviously more research needs to be done, but this study suggests that rosemary extract may hold promise in the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer.
* the U.S. National Cancer Institute reported that [[Essiac]] Tea herbs reduced proliferation of a prostate cancer cell line. Essiac tea : 52 parts Burdock Root (cut or dried) (parts by weight), 16 parts Sheep Sorrel (powdered), 1 part: Turkey Rhubarb (powdered) or 2 parts domestic Rhubarb, 4 parts: Slippery Elm (powdered).
* [[Okra]] : A study made up of 3,800 men and published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention showed that over the course of 10 years the Southern diet—consisting of okra, grits, cornbread, beans, rice, and sweet potatoes—reduced the risk of prostate cancer by as much as 40%.
* [[Pumpkin seeds]] may effectively reduce the growth of Prostate Cancer cells. This believed due to the fact that the seeds contain protective compounds called phytosterols, which are known for their ability to help shrink the prostate.
* [[Coffee]] contains hundreds of biologically active compounds, including potent antioxidant activity, the most unique antioxidant being methylpridinium. Methylpridinium is found almost exclusively in coffee. It has anticancer properties for colon cancer and prostate cancer.
