Dairy and prostate cancer: Conflicting information

I also find many conflicting studies and many, many “meta analyses” that only summarize data from other studies. Until I read the results of an actual study that finds otherwise, I am following the diet guidelines of the Prostate Cancer Foundation (https://www.pcf.org/prostate-cancer-and-eggs-dairy-supplements-your-questions-answered-part-1/) and do not consume animal based dairy products.

Thank you for sharing that link. In the article, Dr Kenfield recommends eating a maximum of 2 eggs/week (if you're including the yolk) and avoiding high-fat dairy, but also says that "Low-fat and non-fat dairy are not consistently associated with bad prostate cancer outcomes."
That said, there's nothing wrong with choosing to consume non-dairy products like oat milk, so if you prefer it, go for it! For a lot of people, it might even improve their digestive health, because many people have trouble with lactose.
