A plant-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts is linked to less urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction and some other side effects seen in patients who have prostate cancer, finds a study published on Tuesday.
The study published in the International Interdisciplinary Journal of the American Cancer Society analysed more than 3,500 men with prostate cancer and looked at whether eating a more plant-based diet improved quality-of-life issues that sometimes come up after prostate cancer treatment.
