Re: Low-carbs to fight prostate cancer?



This wouldn't surprised me.. Prostate cancer and male pattern baldness
are two sides of the same coin.. It's argued that that same coin is
related to PCOS in women, which as we know is primarily an insulin
resistance ailment.  I've seen a few papers recently that hypothesise
about the link between MBP and insulin resistance.. We know low carb
diets are beneficial for people with insulin resistance, so I don't
think it's a big stretch to think that low carb diets may be
beneficial for the prostate as well (and hairloss? let's hope).

When insulin goes up, SHBG goes down, and free T goes up. More free t
means more DHT and estrogen, which affects the prostate.
