08 Oct 2019 --- Regular mushroom consumption may lead to a reduced risk of prostate cancer. This is according to a cohort study conducted by the Tohoku University, which analyzed more than 36,000 Japanese men’s mushroom intake to discover potential health benefits mushrooms provide. Published in the International Journal of Cancer, the study suggests that habitual mushroom intake might help to prevent prostate cancer. The effect was especially pronounced in men aged 50 or older and those with relatively low fruit and vegetable intake and high meat and dairy intake.
