After my RARP & on ADT, my bone density fell to just over the osteopenia line. My doctor recommended calcium supplements, but since I like milk, I now drink 24oz of low-fat milk daily, & that raised my bone density just enough to come back over the line to normal.

Your mileage may vary.

Some studies have found an association between high consumption of dairy products, including low-fat milk, and an increased risk of developing prostate cancer. While the findings are not entirely consistent across all studies, there are enough concerns that some clinicians may recommend reducing or eliminating dairy intake for men at higher risk.

Drinking nonfat milk does not have the same problem.
