Dairy and prostate cancer: Conflicting information
Hi! I am 73 and have 6 prostate cancer that is being watched. I drink a lot of milk and eat a lot of cheese I have read some studies that say whole milk was associated with prostate cancer and to drink fat free milk. Then I read another study saying that skim milk was associated with prostate cancer, but high fat milk was ok to drink. Then I read another study that says no association between dairy and Prostate cancer. Kind of confusing ! does anyone have an opinion on this

2 ReactionsThe information I find online is that prostate cancer cells feed on animal products, so the "gold standard" diet is plant-based. That's really hard, and many physicians suggest a "heart healthy" or Mediterranean diet works well. One source will be http://www.pcri.org searching for "diet and prostate cancer."

I do not know - this community helped me save my sanity in all aspects. I learned so much in such a short time and appreciated every single hug, star, or like in my time of despair.
Every well wishing post held me up in the darkest moments and even now in the time of calm and happiness I fondly remember every single member that ever extended his/her hand to me last year. That is why I still hang around and try to help others any way I can and am trying to return some kindness and support back. < 3 : )))
LONG LIVE MAYO FORUM !!!! : )))) HIP HIP HOOORAAAYYYY !!!
