I read all this with great interest. I wish my other half would read it all and take note. He refuses to change his diet whatsoever. He is a beef farmer, so eats plenty of red meat. He only has full cream milk (we have young children, otherwise I wouldn't buy it) he doesn't smoke, rarely drinks alcohol, but he eats plenty of cakes and biscuits. I can't stop him. If I make a cake he will eat it for breakfast, lunch and supper! He does work hard so he must burn it off. He eats a similar diet to his parents, they died at 89 and 93 so I just get "it never did Mum and Dad any harm" so I have given up nagging him to change.
It has nothing to do with prostate cancer, but my Dad was healthy, he rarely had alcohol, never smoked, was always on his bike as he didn't drive, he was a good weight (underweight if anything) he ate a fairly healthy diet, he was never off work sick, he died suddenly at age 56 of acute myeloma (cancer of the blood) Yet my Mum is obese, likes a glass of wine most nights, she used to smoke, has a fried breakfast every day and due to her size can't exercise. She is nearly 70 and just had a medical and told she has good cholesterol, her heart is very good for her age etc. it makes me wonder if it is just luck!
I will still be trying to persuade the OH to eat healthier.
