There were stories a few year ago that tomatoes could prevent prostate cancer, however a study in March 2007 from the National Cancer Institute and Seattle's Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center found this to be false.

Any way to prevent prostate cancer? what kind of lifestyle?
Yes you can prevent prostate cancer by changing your lifestyle. First off, watch what you put in your body - change to organic products, cut down your sugar intake. Also it's important to exercise to increase oxygen level in your body. Manage stress to keep your body alkaline. To help you understand better what I said, I found a great article here: http://www.drlam.com/A3R_brief_in_doc_fo...lesome.cfm

The prostate is about the size of a large walnut. It is located below the bladder and in front of the rectum. The prostate's main function is to make fluid for semen, a white substance that carries sperm.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among American men. It is a slow-growing disease that mostly affects older men. In fact, more than 65 percent of all prostate cancers are found in men over the age of 65. The disease rarely occurs in men younger than 40 years of age.
Sometimes, cancer cells break away from a malignant tumor in the prostate and enter the bloodstream or the lymphatic system and travel to other organs in the body.
When cancer spreads from its original location in the prostate to another part of the body such as the bone, it is called metastatic prostate cancer -- not bone cancer. Doctors sometimes call this "distant" disease.
Prevention:
A low-fat diet may slow the progression of prostate cancer. To reduce the risk or progression of prostate cancer, the American Cancer Society recommends a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and dietary fiber, and low in red meat and saturated fats.

Prostate cancer begins most often in the outer part of the prostate. It is the most common cancer in men older than age 50. In most men, the cancer grows very slowly. In fact, many men with the disease will never know they have the condition. Early prostate cancer is confined to the prostate gland itself, and the majority of patients with this type of cancer can live for years with no problems. In some cases, it may spread from the prostate to nearby lymph nodes, bones or other organs. This spread is called metastasis. Most Prostate cancers originate in the posterior prostate gland, the rest originate near the urethra.
