Dairy and Prostate Cancer Link
Two recent studies published in the American Journal of Epidemiology
showed a positive correlation between low-fat and nonfat milk
consumption and the risk of prostate cancer. One study comprising 82,483
men in the Multiethnic Cohort Study, 4,404 of whom developed prostate
cancer over a mean follow-up of eight years consuming 1 cup or more per
day of low-fat or nonfat milk showed a positive association for
developing prostate cancer, while whole milk consumption showed a
decreased risk for total prostate cancer. The second study comprised
293,888 participants of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-AARP
Diet and Health Study, 10,180 of whom were total prostate cancer cases.
In this case, two or more servings of skim milk per day showed an
increased risk of advanced prostate cancer.
