Most all recipes calling for butter or shortening or margarine can be made with Smart Balance or with olive or canola oil although there may need to be some adjustments for oil. Salt is also a cause of osteoporosis and a minor cause of some cancers. Avoiding most canned foods, all lunch meats, and added salt is important. Salt-free baking powder is available and is high in potassium, instead of sodium. It is a much less expensive way of adding potassium to the diet than purchasing potassium supplements.
Potassium is very healthy and reduces some of the harmful effects of sodium.
Fortunately, fresh foods and legumes are high in potassium. Strawberries have been found good at preventing prostate cancer and probably any dark red or blue or purple fruit is high in anti-oxidants. Oranges have been found beneficial, too, lowering cholesterol. Cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower have been found especially helpful. Tomatoes are particularly good at preventing prostate cancer.
