Men who eat a lot of red meat and processed meats may have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer than those who limit such foods.  Researchers from the US National Cancer Institute (Maryland, USA), studied 175,343 US men, ages 50 to 71 years, following them for a nine-year period.  The team found that those men who ate the most red and processed meats had elevated risk of developing any stage of prostate cancer, or advanced cancer in particular.

The US National Cancer Institute shares an online interactive tool to help identify whether the known risk factors for prostate cancer apply to you:  http://understandingrisk.cancer.gov/a_prostate/01.cfm
