A recent study published in the January 2016 issue of American Journal of Clinical Nutrition revealed vegan diets showed a statistically significant protective association with prostate cancer risk. The research was done at Loma Linda University. “If you are already a vegan male, be thankful that you will have a lower risk of prostate cancer,” Dr. Gary Fraser, the director of the study, told the Adventist Review on Tuesday. “If you are not vegan, be aware that the lacto-ovo diet and the pesco-vegetarian diet did not give evidence of protection when compared to non-vegetarian Adventists.”
