My friend Ali came to visit me the other day, and while she was here she got a phone call from her dad saying he had prostate cancer. I was quite shocked, but then remembered the numbers of men who get this disease each year. I have done some reading and decided to put up some crucial information about the link between dairy and meat consumption to prostate cancer:
"Surprisingly, one of the most consistent, specific links between diet and prostate cancer has been dairy consumption. A 2001 Harvard review of the research could hardly be more convincing:
...In these studies, men with the highest dairy intakes had approximately double the risk of total prostate cancer, and up to a fourfold increase in risk of metastatic or fatal prostate cancer relative to low consumers."
This was taken from the book The China Study, Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-Term Health, by T Colin Campbell, PhD and Thomas M. Campbell the second. It's a very famous national best selling book that everyone on the planet should have access to.
Here are a few more links to get you started on the subject if you are interested:
