[Preorder]( [Prostate Cancer]( Focus: Prostate Cancer Just as glandular breast tissue can become cancerous, so can glandular prostate tissue. Autopsy studies show that about half of men over the age of 80 appear to have prostate cancer, and most die without ever knowing they had it. The goal, then, is to slow down its growth sufficiently so we die with the cancer rather than from it. Harvard University researchers followed more than a thousand men with early-stage prostate cancer for several years. Men with more aggressive cancer who regularly ate chicken and turkey had up to four times the prostate cancer progression risk. On the other hand, less than a single daily serving of cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, or kale, may cut the risk of cancer progression by more than half. Check out the [topic page]( and watch videos like [Treating Advanced Prostate Cancer with Diet: Part 1]( and [Part 2]( for more information. [Prostate Cancer]( [Recipe: Cheesy Broccoli Soup ]( Recipe: Cheesy Broccoli Soup This soup is a delicious way to enjoy some cancer-fighting cruciferous vegetables. We eat first with our eyes, and the lovely green broccoli florets against a backdrop of cheesy broth will have you wanting to eat with your mouth, too.

Live Q&A: Should You Put Bananas in Smoothies? My next live Q&A is tomorrow, November 17, at 3 pm ET. I’ll be focusing on the question of whether or not you should put bananas in smoothies. You may have heard about a new study suggesting that an enzyme in bananas called polyphenol oxidase—the enzyme that turns bananas brown—can destroy a class of nutrients found in foods like berries. So, should you stop putting bananas in your smoothies? Is there anything we can add to the smoothie to counter the banana enzyme’s effects? Is it just a smoothie thing? What about eating a banana with meals? And what about other fruits and vegetables that turn brown that also have this enzyme, like white potatoes, avocados, and white mushrooms? Is the enzyme destroyed by cooking? Get the answers to all of these questions and more by tuning in to my live presentation and Q&A. Tune in on our [YouTube]( channel or directly on [NutritionFacts.org](. (We are troubleshooting some issues with Facebook streaming, but hope it will be working again soon.) You can find links to past live Q&As here [on NutritionFacts.org](. “I am one of the video content reviewers for NutritionFacts and, more recently, a recipe tester for the upcoming The How Not to Age Cookbook. I am very happy to contribute to NutritionFacts as a volunteer, as it has been such a valuable resource for me for many years and I always enjoy Dr. Greger’s engaging presentations. Volunteering in these roles brings together two passions for me: research and plant-based cooking. My favorite plant-based food is soup with lots of beans and greens. I highly recommend the White Bean and Kale Soup in [The How Not to Die Cookbook]( —Danette Cathcart [Update on Vegetarian Stroke Risk]( [Update on Vegetarian Stroke Risk]( Those eating more plant-based diets have lower risk of having a stroke, including both bleeding and clotting strokes.
