Recently, many scientists talk about the association between cancer and cow's milk and other milk products. Ganmaa Davaasambuu, M.D., Ph.D., a native Mongolian scientist, noted that ingestion of natural estrogens from cows (particularly from pregnant cows) in milk may be linked to breast, prostate, and testicular cancers in humans.
A study comparing diet and cancer rates in 42 countries showed a strong correlation between milk and cheese consumption and the incidence of testicular cancer among men age 20 to 39. The rates were highest in high consuming countries such as Switzerland and Denmark and low in Algeria and other parts of the world where people eat less dairy.
Dr. Davaasambuu also linked rising rates of dairy consumption to the increased death rates from prostate cancer (from near zero per 100,000 men five decades ago to seven per 100,000 men today) and noted that breast cancer also appears to be linked to milk and cheese consumption. Among women, milk consumption has been associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer in both the Nurses' Health Study and in a 2005 study from Sweden's Karolinska Institute.
