Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been the number one cause of death in theU.S.for 114 of the last 115 years.Risk factors for prostate cancer have primarily mirrored risk proven risk factors for CVD, especially aggressive disease.Obesity, dyslipidemia,glucose intolerance, metabolic syndrome,unhealthy dietary habits or caloric excess, lack of physical activity, and inflammation are just some of these shared risk factors.The evidence also suggests proven CVD preventive measures are identical to prostate cancer preventive measures, especially in regard to aggressive disease.Thus, apart from lifestyle measures that can encourage optimal heart and prostate health there are potentially several dietary supplements that need to be avoided in healthy men because they may also increase the risk of prostate cancer.However, there are also several low-cost, generic, safe in the appropriate individuals, and naturally derived agents that could reduce prostate cancer risk, and these can be discussed and remembered utilizing the acronym S.A.M.(statins, aspirin, and/or metformin).
