@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).

Yah, I've mostly gone away from full-fat dairy, except for a few TJ Greek yogurts, lol, including the honey flavor, and I don't have them very often.
I went through a cottage cheese phase. I go back and forth on cheese generally. Gave up on liquid milk many years ago, has a surprising number of carbs that didn't fit my carb budget.

@xahnegrey40 There is still a lot they don’t know about dairy and its relationship to PCa.
Fat is a carrier for a variety of compounds - pesticides/insecticides are used on cows and can be absorbed into their bodies.
rBST is a growth inducing hormone which has been proven to enhance the growth of many cancer cells as well.
And what about what we don’t know? It’s a little misleading for ‘full fat dairy’ PERIOD! To be the reason for fatal PCa.
I guess the best you can do is drink truly organic milk sourced from a small operation which states its farming practices on the label. Unfortunately, not too many of these places are left since they are family run and the younger generation would rather play with their phones than get up before sunrise and tend to their business.
