This is what Chicken McNuggets look like -- Seriously!
Right you are, pix. From what I've read, and from my own knowledge of chemistry, a whole foods vegan diet is clearly the best. I even stay away from soy milk, because it's a processed, nutrient deficient food, and, it's very expensive. Lots of vegan foods are really junk food, stripped of the nutrients in their natural form. Another thing I avoid are oils, including those in potato chips and french fries, etc.
Study: Fish oil increases aggressive prostate cancer
This appears to be very complicated. Here's a study exonerating flax seed oil, although I would never use the oil. I eat the whole, ground seeds.

I also googled "ALA, prostate cancer", and found many good studies. It seems the ALA/cancer link may have come by association with the ALA in grilled red meat. So maybe something in the grilling process caused the cancer, not the ALA. Or, even if a human ate a lot of raw red meat, the cancer risk would go up.

I'm 71. I ate the standard meat-centered American diet for the first 50 yrs of my life. Since then, I've followed a mainly vegetarian, and for the last 16 yrs, a mainly vegan diet. I love it. Last night, a kind-hearted neighbor brought me over a container of stir-fried chicken she made. It was mostly chicken. This morning, as I recover from 7 broken ribs, I tried some. One bite was enough. I spit it out, and the dish is now in the garbage. What's that tell you, carnivores? I don't even like chicken, or beef, or pork. Knowing the health risks associated with eating those items, why would I?
