PAT - Health: Low-Fat Dairy Link With Prostate Cancer

[Guest guest]

Hi Pat,

 

I don't know if anyone else had the same experience as I did but I was unable

to open the link. Every time I tried I got a message telling me that my

session had expired (which was not the case). I'd like to read the article so

do you have a different link to it or the title so I can Google that directly?

 

Thanks,

 

Cheers from Marie

Here's the item:

 

Two Studies Show Low-Fat and Fat-Free Milk Linked

to Prostate Cancer

 

Two new 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 looked at questionnaires by 82,483 men

in the Multiethnic Cohort Study, 4,404 of whom

developed prostate cancer over a mean follow-up

of eight years. Whether in the form of food or

supplements, there was no association between

calcium and vitamin D intake and prostate cancer

risk. However, 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 (includes nonadvanced,

advanced, and fatal cases).

 

The other study assessed food frequency

questionnaires among 293,888 participants of the

National Institutes of Health (NIH)-AARP Diet and

Health Study, 10,180 of whom were total prostate

cancer cases. Skim milk consumption at two or

more servings per day was positively associated

with an increased risk of advanced prostate

cancer.
