This study is a sensory analysis of several different formulations of a novel tomato-soy-arugula seed beverage in men with prostate cancer. Eating a diet rich in a variety of fruits and vegetables has been associated with decreased risk of a variety of diseases, including prostate cancer. Mixed vegetable beverages may be useful in prostate cancer survivorship.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the sensory acceptability of a novel tomato-soy-arugula seed beverage in men with prostate cancer.
