The relationship between milk consumption and breast cancer is an issue that has been studied before and generates divided opinions.
The possible relationship between milk and the Cancer of Mother it had already been studied before, although there is a divided opinion on the dairy consumption and the probability of developing this disease.
In 2004, a group of specialists published an article in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition titled “Dairy consumption and risk of Cancer breast: review of the literature “in which they point out that some dairy products, such as a large amount of cheeses and milk whole have a relatively high saturated fat content and that this can increase the risk of developing Cancer of Mother.
“In addition, they may contain pesticides, which have carcinogenic potential, and insulin-like growth factors I, which has been shown to promote the growth of cancer cells, “they detailed on that occasion.
Can the milk be a risk factor for Cancer of Mother?
Researchers highlighted on that occasion that the available evidence did not support a strong relationship between consuming dairy products and developing Cancer of Mother, but that was more than 16 years ago.
In 2010, the issue of the relationship between the consumption of milk cow and the Cancer of Mother and on that occasion, the specialists again mentioned growth factors similar to the insulina I.
“To summarize, increased fat intake, as well as total meat intake or saturated fatty acid consumption, is positively correlated with an elevated risk of Cancer of Mother“, reported in the journal Breast Care.
Although they concluded that “evidence of an increased risk of Cancer of Mother through the consumption of milk beef and dairy products is fuzzy and partially contradictory and misleading, “they noted that further research is needed.
Two 2020 studies found a relationship between the consumption of milk and the Cancer of Mother
In February 2020 it was published in the International Journal of Epidemiology a Article titled “Dairy, soy, and risk of breast cancer: those confounded milks“, in which the authors conducted a cohort study that included 52,795 women from the United States who were initially free of Cancer and they followed them for almost 8 years (research says 7.9 years).
“A higher intake of milk of cow was associated with an increased risk of Cancer of Mother. Current guidelines for the consumption of milk of cow can be considered with some caution “, they concluded.
Seven months after this investigation, in September 2020, a team of researchers from Poland, Sweden Y U.S they aimed in the journal of Clinical Nutrition that the high consumption of milk long-term was associated with an increased risk of Cancer of Mother and that, on the contrary, long-term high consumption of fermented dairy products was associated with a lower risk of this disease.

What are the risk factors for Cancer of Mother?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) they report what for him Cancer of Mother There are modifiable risk factors such as sedentary lifestyle or alcohol consumption and others that cannot be changed, such as age or family history.
Among those that can be changed, the CDC, are the following:
+ Lack of physical activity
+ Overweight u obesity after the menopause
+ Alcoholism
Remember that the obesity and the overweight They are given by a body weight that is considered greater than what is considered normal or healthy for a certain height and in the words of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the overweight it is usually due to additional body fat.
Eating excess fat and not burning those calories can cause overweight and this is one of the risk factors for Cancer of Mother.
An important factor to consider, explains the Associate Professor of Nutritional Biochemistry at the University of Hertfordshire, Richard Hoffman, is that the two studies that did find a link could only conclude that there was an association between the act of consuming milk and the Cancer of Mother, more they could not prove what to take milk as such it causes Cancer.
“While the milk cow may be a risk factor for Cancer of Mother, acts in conjunction with many other risk factors, “Hoffman concluded in The Conversation.
Investigations in this regard continue.
