Higher cholesterol may lead to more aggressive prostate cancer

Prostate Cancer Treatment and Symptoms > Prostate Cancer and Association With Plasma Cholesterol: "Prostate cancer patients who had lower levels of cholesterol in their blood had a significantly reduced chance of developing more aggressive forms of the disease, compared to patients with higher cholesterol readings.
These findings may help explain the earlier discovery, reported by the same team of researchers at the AACR annual meeting in 2005, that men who used statin drugs experienced half the risk of developing advanced prostate cancer."

A basic principal for a healthy prostate was taught to me by an expert in preventive medicine, Dr. Mark Moyad, (University of Michigan): What is healthy for the heart is usually healthy for the prostate.
