Some studies have shown that men who drink milk daily have an increased risk of prostate cancer. If so, should you give up milk altogether? What do the experts say?
Milk is the best source of calcium. It strengthens the health of our muscles and bones. But some studies show that drinking them increases the risk of a health problem for men. Hormones in milk can increase the risk of prostate cancer.
UK-based Cancer Research Center has explained the relationship between milk and prostate cancer in its research results. Research links cancer to milk consumption. Hormones like estrogen and insulin are naturally present in cow’s milk. These hormones are growth hormones. These cause cancer to grow. According to the researchers, it is not only reducing the milk to reduce the risk. Drinking milk with coffee every day also increases the risk of prostate cancer.
Loma Linda University in the US studied nearly 22,000 men over three decades. The researchers concluded that men who consumed 2.5 servings of dairy products daily had a 34 percent higher risk of prostate cancer than men who consumed half a serving or less. The study found that low-fat, non-cream milk had a higher risk of prostate cancer than regular or high-fat milk.
Loma Linda University researchers warn that determining the exact risk of cancer from milk or any food is difficult. More research is needed on this. Along with milk, wrong eating habits and poor lifestyle also cause cancer.
