Dairy Milk
A 2015 meta-analysis found that high intakes of dairy products appear to increase total prostate cancer risk. Cow's milk stimulated prostate cancer cell growth by more than 30 percent.; Cow's milk stimulated the growth of human prostate cancer cells by more than 30 percent. A 2015 meta-analysis found that high intakes of dairy products appear to increase total prostate cancer risk.

Eggs
Men who ate even less than a single egg a day appeared to have twice the risk of prostate cancer progression. Men consuming 2.5+ eggs per week may have 81 percent increased risk of dying from prostate cancer.; Men who ate even less than a single egg a day appeared to have twice the risk of prostate cancer progression. Men who consume two and a half or more eggs per week may have an 81 percent increased risk of dying from prostate cancer.

IGF-1
The more IGF-1 you have in your bloodstream, the higher your risk for developing cancers, such as prostate cancer

Choline
Higher levels of choline in the blood have been associated with increased risk of developing prostate cancer. Men who consumed the most choline from food also had an increased risk of lethal prostate cancer.
