Sources (eg, web links) for your statements are important. In particular, the link regarding dairy products has been confirmed in some studies but not others. I'm continuing to drink milk to keep up the calcium intake, & my oncologist has no problem with that.

@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).
