Prostate cancer
The evidence shows diets high in calcium are probably a cause of prostate cancer.
Foods containing lycopene, which is found in tomatoes and other red fruits, can probably reduce risk of prostate cancer, and this is one of the reasons WCRF UK recommends eating at least five portions a day of a wide range of fruits and vegetables.
Selenium, which is found in supplements, also probably reduces prostate cancer risk, but because of other evidence around supplements the overall advice is not to take dietary supplements for cancer prevention. Selenium can also be founds in foods such as Brazil nuts.
