I have found that eliminating processed sugars is a most effective strategy in general cancer prevention, together with a raw-food diet ( lots of fruit & Veg. ).

Also, a high oxygen intake (lots of deep breathing), was beneficial as well.

Specifically for colon cancer, I would recommend a high fibre diet with minimum processed foods.

There is no way to actually prevent prostate cancer. It is the largest cancer among men. Especially black men.

There are some things you can do to mitigate some of the risk factors, such as avoid alcohol, take vitamin supplements, especially those that add ZINC. There is more zinc found in the prostate gland than anywhere else in the male body.

Some studies show that frequent sex may reduce the chance of getting prostate cancer. The old saying "use it or loose it" applies here.

The best thing you can do is get yearly check-ups at your doctor. Have him/her do a digital rectal exam AND a PSA blood test.
