Just In: Dairy Milk Linked to Breast Cancer Risk

Even moderate amounts of dairy milk consumption may increase the risk of breast cancer as much as 80 percent, researchers say. The study, which evaluated dietary intakes of nearly 53,000 women for almost eight years, found that drinking as little as one-quarter to one-third cup of milk per day was associated with a 30 percent increased risk of breast cancer; one-cup per day raised the risk to 50 percent; and two to three cups per day increased risk to 70 to 80 percent. There was little difference in results between nonfat and full-fat milk and no important associations with cheese and yogurt.
