Is it true that diet influences the risk of developing prostate cancer?
Partly. Several reviews and reference works list diet or western diet among prostate cancer risk factors, and one meta-analysis on diet's inflammatory potential reports an inconsistent association for urologic cancer. A separate systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis found fat intake not linked to prostate cancer, so the evidence covers only part of the claim and points in both directions.
