If you has read my last post in Prostate Cancer .
You has understand that milk has the potential to increase Prostate Cancer.
But how about other cancers?
Researchers at Harvard University (USA) and elsewhere have studied the links between milk consumption and ovarian cancer. They studies not only to milk's fat content, but also to its sugar, lactose.
Lactose is actually made of two smaller sugar molecules, called galactose and glucose. These two sugars can be split apart either by the bacteria used to produce yogurt or by digestive enzymes in our bodies.
Galactose in large concentrations may be toxic to the ovaries, encouraging infertility and possibly ovarian cancer.
Women with higher levels of IGF-I in their blood have a greater risk of premenopausal breast cancer.
Researchers found that women with higher IGF-I levels had more than double the risk, compared to women with lower IGF-I levels. And milk-drinking raises IGF-I levels. You can get more regarding IGF-I info in Milk Promotes Growth of Infants and Cancer Cells post.
Foods that are high in calcium appear to reduce colon cancer risk. It is purpose that people can get their calcium from green leafy vegetables and beans rather than from dairy products.
Prostate and breast cancer are much more common than colon cancer. Using dairy products to try to reduce colon cancer risk may increase the risk of other, much more
common cancers.
