Research: Based on evidence that phytoestrogens may protect against pro-state cancer, researchers evaluated the associations between serum enterolactone concentration or dietary phytoestrogen intake and risk of prostate cancer. Using a Swedish population-based case-control study, questionnaire-data were available for 1499 prostate cancer cases and 1130 controls, with serum enterolactone levels in a sub-group of 209 cases and 214 controls.
Results: High intake of food items rich in phytoestrogens was associated with a decreased risk of prostate cancer. In contrast, researchers found no association between dietary intake of total or individual lignans or isoflavonoids and risk of prostate cancer. However, serum levels of enterolactone were associated with a decreased risk of prostate cancer.
