Cheese causes breast cancer mortality

[catjac1975]

I don't understand how just one thing can be implicated in any type of cancer. There are infinite variables depending on your lifestyle, and many things that have the potential to alter our hormone balance, which is a causative to some cancers.

Microwave cooking in plastics to name one, lots of plants have phyto estrogens that are usually self limiting but can be affective for another. A woman who has had an abortion is also at much higher risk for breast cancer.

Cancer, and especially breast cancer, is a big money maker.

That is the thinking that kept the tobacco industry from being held accountable for so long.

oh good grief.

Just wait a week and the studies will change the hypothesis and then next week, they will change again.

I agree, as a food scientist by education and training, that our American diets of better nutrition has made girls mature earlier. Not a short few years of drinking milk has done that. My DD is lactose intolerant, so doesn't partake of milk very often, and started at 13. Its now normal to start earlier. My dd was 13 also and she's in her 30's.

rolls eyes....

Doctors disagrees with your stance.

Interesting as scientists paid to study these things find that hormones between animals and human are different. Could be a government conspiracy? Must be east and west coast doctors as none in Midwest advocate not allowing milk to children-in fact encourage it.

Just because hormones are different does not mean they are safe.

Interesting exchange

Good luck eating anything that doesn’t have hormones in it. There are huge differences in hormones. My granddaughter is on whole milk-yes her doctor knows and approves-whole milk not 1-2%.

If you want to believe dairy farmers feed hormones-I’m good with that but please find a tag for me as ingredients have to be listed by law. If you don’t want to buy from AG, don’t. I’d prefer people to buy from people where they know how their food is raised and processed.

If cheese causes cancer, everyone in Wisconsin is doomed... including me.

Studies such as this come out constantly; pretty much everything has been "proven" bad for us at one time or another. Too often, these studies are agenda-driven... scientists can be activists too, or be funded by those who are. The quoted study is from the The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a non-profit organization which promotes a plant-based diet. A report in the NY Times linked them to PETA (Ingrid Newkirk,the head of PETA, is a member of their board).

Digging a little deeper:
"In 1994, PCRM created an ad that suggested eating meat is “tantamount to suicide.” The ad began: “Last year, over a million people left the same suicide note.” Under that headline a handwritten note read: “Shopping list: Butter, eggs, mayo, potato chips, ham, bacon.”

Before panic, it is always a good idea to research the source, and make an informed judgement about their credibility. Legitimate research will be peer reviewed, and supported by multiple sources - not a single study by a questionable organization.

It is clearly believed by many in the medical field and we who lived and observed ~ both male and female human early sexually maturing ~ earlier than us who are older than dirt and raised on raw or at leased milk from animals not pumped hormones ~ I thought the same about Capon Chickens ~ you know that plug shot into the comb that cause them to grow great in size and weight ~ it seems clear ~ except to those ~ like you say ~ Paid to study ~ that there is a cause and effect here ~ and Cancer in addition to the greater milk production but somewhat shorter production life of the animal is there ~ unless we will not look, we will not see ~ see then the difference a little Silver does make ```
