Drinking milk increases the risk of developing prostate cancer by a quarter.

June 14, 2022

This can be explained by the fact that the product contains hormones - 75% of dairy cows are pregnant. There is a similar link between milk consumption and breast cancer in women. It turned out that men who consumed 430 grams of dairy products per day had a 25% higher risk of developing prostate cancer than those who ate 20 grams of such food per day (half a cup of milk per week). The risk increased compared to those who did not drink milk at all. As a result, the risk of prostate cancer in general begins to rise after the threshold of 150 grams of milk per day. There is no difference between the consumption of a regular and low-fat product.
