@readandlearn Key Findings on High-Fat Dairy and Prostate Cancer:
Disease Progression: Whole milk intake is specifically associated with a higher risk of developing fatal or lethal prostate cancer.
Recurrence Risk: Men who consume high-fat dairy after a prostate cancer diagnosis face a higher risk of recurrence and mortality.
Mechanism: Dairy products can increase insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a hormone linked to cancer growth.
Amount Matters: The link between dairy and cancer is often associated with high consumption levels.
Alternatives: Low-fat and non-fat dairy options do not show the same consistent association with negative outcomes compared to high-fat options, though some studies suggest all dairy might carry risk.
my point was dont over do- I think I was eating far too much cottage cheese with honey- about 2-3 containers a week..and then late last May, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer...now I dont believe it was soley from my indulgence in high fat cottage cheese ( dont drink milk at all) but I was totally unaware of any link to prostate cancer- secondly, over the yrs, I was told not to worry about PC that I probably wouldnt get it and even if I did, "they dont even treat older men cause it is slow growing"..
2 of my primary care doctors in Houston told me that ( both women).
