“Effect of a Behavioral Intervention to Increase Vegetable Consumption on Cancer Progression Among Men With Early-Stage Prostate Cancer: The MEAL Randomized Clinical Trial”, by lead investigator Dr. J. Kellogg Parsons, Department of Urology, is making news in the local, national, and international press.

Dr. Parsons and his co-authors designed The Men’s Eating and Living (MEAL) Study (CALGB 70807 [Alliance]), the first randomized clinical trial to test the effect of dietary intervention on prostate cancer, and they report their findings in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). According to Dr. Parsons, “These data indicate that, despite prevailing scientific and public opinion, eating more vegetables will not alter the course of prostate cancer. It will not, to the best of our knowledge, suppress or cure it.” He added, “However, while eating a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables and getting more exercise may not cure cancer, it may keep the body stronger and healthier, which may help patients tolerate cancer treatments.”

This year we’re excited to celebrate Mark Clayton, former Miami Dolphin and Green Bay Packer and a five-time Pro Bowl player. A favorite target of Dan Marino, Clayton is in the NFL’s top 50 for receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. He also holds Dolphins’ records for career pass receptions and TDs, as well as receiving yards in a single season. At one point in time, the Marino-Clayton tandem was the most prolific in NFL history.
