Hi Dr. Hunter, thanks for the thoughtful article! I'm curious to get your perspective on something: I'm studying nutritional therapy at the moment and have been looking into the importance of certain nutrients for prostate health. Zinc really jumps out, especially in this article, for helping prevent BPH and inflammation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7424038/. A few points from the article:
-"Zinc accumulation in prostate cells can be an inducer of mitochondrial apoptosis, thereby effectively inhibiting proliferation and growth of the tissue."
-"Intriguingly, both zinc and citrate are diminished in prostate cancer, implicating an essential role of high zinc levels for maintaining a non-malignant prostate."
Let me know if you have any thoughts at the intersection of nutrition and prostate health. I have clients very interested in this topic!
