Get drinking coffee!

You stick to the gin Lyn 😉

I still miss the city coffee bars, but my bean-to-cup machine is an acceptable replacement.

As a trainee Vegan I use oat milk. Is that better than cow juice for PCas?

I know vegetarians must watch B12 and vegans keep their protein up. I have also ordered the Prostate Care Cookbook Lyneyre mentioned. There must be some veggie material in that.

Admittedly, my last blood test showed a red cell count just on the lower bound of normal, so I have increased chickpeas and cashew nuts in my intake. Otherwise, seeds, fruit and leafy green vegetables are no problem.

Don't you think a good V-diet is feasible for PCa patients?

The prostate cancer cookbook has arrived - thanks to LynEyre for the recommendation - and proves to be written by the Professor of Nutritional Medicine at the University of Surrey. Animal protein is not excluded but only oily fish receives credit for any of the fairly minor improvements in PCa outcomes. Alliums and cruciferous vegetables, legumes, cooked tomatoes (she agrees with LynEyre on that), soya and lots of green tea also get credit. And I have been using garlic incorrectly all these years.

Coffee is not mentioned, but I don't care.

What have you been doing wrong with the garlic? Can't fault the rest of the suggestions..

Highly likely!  Most on here will not have experienced first hand but during WW2 and for a time afterwards rationing in the UK meant small portions and restricted diets.  Also, comparatively few had cars and petrol was restricted anyway.  Walking to public transport and cycling was the order of the day.  TV was yet to have us sitting down doing little too.  The combination of these things meant people were generally less heavy and more healthy.  Of course they didn't have the benefit of the range of antibiotics, pills and medical procedures we have to combat medical conditions and keep us going that we have today which have extended life expectancy.

As regards coffee, I read the efficasy of this in relation to PCa some years ago but it was postulated that you would need to drink many so many cups to be of benefit.

The point that Prostate Cancer Research make is that a young boy's prostate healthy diet could minimise the risk of him developing PCa in the future, and ghat diet may also play a part in slowing advanced PCa - particularly once hormone independent. What they don't support is any suggestion that dietary changes have any impact on men who have been diagnosed with a contained / treatable PCa - cutting out dairy or eating loads of tomatoes will not prevent a man who has had radical treatment from going on to have a recurrence, for example.
