Prostate Cancer And Estrogen

Some parts of mainstream medicine are catching up with Dr. Peat.

Throughout their lives, men produce both testosterone, an essential male hormone, and small amounts of estrogen, a female hormone. As men age, the amount of active testosterone in the blood decreases, leaving a higher proportion of estrogen. The results of studies in animals suggest that BPH may occur because the higher amount of estrogen within the gland increases the activity of substances that promote cell growth. Diet and lifestyle may influence BPH in part via effects on reproductive hormones in susceptible men (3).

Comparisons of the effects on risk of BPH of diets low in polyunsaturated fat, animal protein, and total energy but high in antioxidants (ie, fruit and vegetables) with typical Western diets (which are high in fat and polyunsaturated fat but low in antioxidants) could help in developing effective population-wide strategies for preventing BPH.

It also mentions the lycopene from tomatoes.

The author seems to have published a few articles on green tea.
