Eating mushrooms may lower the risk of prostate cancer

[Michael]

Large, long-term study suggests link between eating mushrooms and a lower risk of prostate cancer

Participants who consumed mushrooms once or twice a week had an 8% lower risk of developing prostate cancer, compared to those who ate mushrooms less than once per week, while those who consumed mushrooms three or more times per week had a 17% lower risk than those who ate mushrooms less than once a week.

I'm gonna guess that it's probably not going to the same health benefits.

The study doesn't indicate the types of mushrooms eaten. There are significant differences in the types of mushroom commonly eaten in different cultures (e.g. Japan), and other dietary habits may also play a role, so even if the study has found a genuine effect, it doesn't necessarily mean that eating more common field mushrooms (as in the UK or USA) will have the same effects.

I think more work needs to be done...

I can think of several species of mushroom that would definitely reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Incautious wild mushroom eaters tend to not live long enough for prostate problems to be an issue
