I'm curious too what their diets actually consisted of. Maybe high in fatty processed meats ... bologna, hotdogs etc .. so there's a lot of nitrates and preservatives. Or, high in trans-fats ... margarine, cooking oils. Or, since the riskiest diets were also higher in calcium, it could mean they ate a lot of dairy products, which are also high in hormones. Even organic milk contains naturally-occuring hormones from the cows .. and prostate cancer, like breast cancer, is hormone-receptor sensitive.
