Is there a concern for prostate cancer with this

Is there a concern for prostate cancer Cith this?
If his PSA number doubles from 2 to 4 in one year, but up to 4 is considered in the normal range and above it is only 25% chance of cancer, is that still a cause to worry? He's in his 60s so I'm assuming those numbers are ok?

When my PSA was 4.3 I found out that I had cancer of the prostate. I was 62 at the time. That was 12 years ago. I had other tests where they took biopsies and found out that I had it. I had cryosurgery to get rid of it.
2 :
his Dr should be advising him to have more frequent testing done

Is there any evidence that Middle Eastern men have less Prostate cancer than Western men

Is there any evidence that Middle Eastern men have less Prostate cancer than Western men?
A fellow co-worker, formerly of Bagdad, Iraq, at an engineering firm I use to work for, once told me that because they squat to pee as part of their culture, that they have very few cases of Prostate cancer in their country. Is there any medical evidence to back this up. Give references. Jeeveswantstoknow...- Curious. Hello Arabian Biologist of Egypt. Thanks for your input. You said: .....anyway, Prostate Cancer infects men who watch porn too much without having sex or jerking off." Coming from a biologist, I find this more opinonated, than scientific. You said: ...."So, it (having sex and/or jerking off) is recommend (who is recommending this procedure?) after watching porn. And for Arabs, and most Islamic countries, pornography is illegal. So, men and women don't watch porn." Paraphrasing now, you tell us that only married people have sex in Arab countries, therefore infection is kept to a minimum. Unlike in countries such as America where such decadent practices are rampant and pornography has become a major [legal] industry, Arab countries have not fallen in to such immoral decay. And finally, according to your sources, your culture does not encourage squatting to pee.

Is non organic milk worse than soda due to its prostate cancer and hormones

Is non organic milk worse than soda due to its prostate cancer and hormones?
My mom always buy non organic milk instead of organic, because she thinks organic milk health claims are scam for money. I recently heard non organic milk has poisonous chemicals added to it, and that it could cause cancer. Does this mean we should be replacing it with soda or should we continue drinking it.

Btw she's not buying the non organic because of money issues, its because she doesn't want to spend extra money for something she thinks is nothing.

well definently dont drink the soda... I dont think the pesticides are that abundant, but dont drink too much of the milk, even if its organic. www.nomilk.com

Umm no, you are greatly over inflating the danger of non-organic milk. The really is no danger in non-organic milk. Your mom is right, its really not worth the extra money. Not for milk anyway. And soda is nothing but empty calories, it has no value whatsoever, and nobody should ever really drink it. The best thing to drink would be water. But the non-organic milk isn't dangerous, and your being kind of silly about it. Especially if you think soda would be better for you.

Soda isn't good for you at all. At least with the milk you will get some nutrients, etc. I've never heard about milk causing cancer but I do know it has hormones in it but soda has chemicals, etc that we don't need either. If you are really worried about it just drink water.
