Plenty, according to a new study by the Prostate Cancer Research Institute. Their research shows that men who eat fatty Western diets face a higher risk of developing prostate cancer. How much higher? Here's a comparison. The county of Qidong in China has the lowest recorded incidence rate, 0.5 per 100,000 men. By comparison, Sweden has a rate of 55.3 per 100,000 men and the U.S. has a rate of 102.1 per 100,000. Put another way, if you are a man in the United States, you have a 200 times greater risk of developing prostate cancer than a man in this province of China. And you have almost double the risk of developing cancer than a man in Sweden. Obesity promotes the development of cancer. As proof, the study observes that Asian men who live in China and Japan suffer extremely low rates of prostate cancer. But when these men move to the United States or other Western countries, their diets change, and they "increase their risk of cancer within a single generation". Article Continues Below. Several research studies have confirmed the link between fatty diets, obesity and prostate cancer. Fat emits hormones which have been implicated in the development of many forms of cancer, including prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cance, breast cancer, uterine cancer, kidney cancer and gallbladder cancer). All of these are epithelial cell cancers. And interactions between epithelial and other components (stromal components) inside cell tissues --as well as hormones that the organs through the circulation of your blood -- stimulate the growth of cancerous tumors. Hormones may increase the growth of cancerous tumors in 4 different ways. 1. Obesity Boosts Levels of Natural Steroids in Your Body. When you are obese, the fat increases teh production of steroids that stimulate growth of cells throughout your body. These steroid hormones can bind to nuclear receptors in tumor cells. Estrogen is one such hormone. Fat tissues produce excess amounts of estrogen. It's one of the reasons that cancers occur in fatty tissues such as breats. It's also one of the reasons that excess fat on a man's body increases hi chances of developing prostate cancer. 2. Obesity Increases Free Floating Hormones. Obesity increases the amount of free-floatng estrgen and testosterone in your blood stream. These free floating hormones can create havoc by binding to tumors. 3. Obesity Triggers DNA Damage. Third, steroid hormone action can trigger increased oxidant-stress-promoting cell proliferation and DNA damage. Androgens have been demonstrated to increase oxidant stress in prostate cancer cells, and oxidant defense mechanisms have been shown to be impaired early in the cancer process. 4. Obesity Encourages Paracrine Factors. Obesity can increase the production of paracrine factors and hormones which stimulate the production of steroid hormones in cancer tissue through interactions between stromal and epithelial compartments in tissues. Many of these paracrine factors are cytokines produced by both fat cells and white blood cells.
