(STUDY FINDS) — LOMA LINDA, Calif. — Growing up, so many of us were constantly reminded to drink milk. Milk is indisputably a great source of protein and calcium, but a new study has come to a troubling conclusion regarding dairy milk: regularly drinking milk can seriously increase a woman’s chances of developing breast cancer.
Researchers at Loma Linda University say that even relatively small amounts of milk intake can raise a woman’s risk of suffering from breast cancer.
Gary E. Fraser, the study’s first author, says that the findings supply “fairly strong evidence that either dairy milk or some other factor closely related to drinking dairy milk is a cause of breast cancer in women.”
