Abstract in brief

The study found that non-Hispanic Black men tend to consume less lycopene compared to non-Hispanic White men, and insufficient lycopene intake is linked with a higher risk of prostate cancer.
Sufficient lycopene intake appears to significantly reduce prostate cancer risk, especially in specific age groups (66-70), but Black men still face higher risks despite dietary differences.
Factors like age and obesity influence prostate cancer risk, with age increasing risk and obesity sometimes serving as a protective factor, although Black men remain at a higher risk overall.]

@VinnyLingham @animaldocfilm It's funny that a couple of years ago I used the same logic to defend meat eating. This is the most classic anti vegan propaganda. Hope you watch this, he says it better than I can https://t.co/SAZ3NgQQPg

@veganismurder @TheFun96593011 @RealTenSense @ScepticalDoctor Dr. Chaffee intentionally misrepresents data. Fear mongering cancer while promoting red meat already recognized as carcinogenic by W.H.O. then references Gundry's 'Plant Paradox' on Lectins, which has also been heavily debunked. #nutrition #grifters https://t.co/qHCx8mCh9b
