We Drink It Daily, But Don’t Know That It Causes Bre*st Cancer!

A study done by Kaiser Permanente researchers suggest that women diagnosed with early-stage bre*st cancer who eat full-fat dairy products after diagnosis are more likely to die from bre*st cancer that women who eat low-fat dairy products after diagnosis.


The hormone estrogen stimulates bre*st cell growth, including the growth of hormone-receptor-positive bre*st cancer cells. Estrogen is created and stored in fat cells. Many researchers believe that dairy products eaten in the United States and other Western countries have high levels of estrogen and progesterone in them because most of the milk is produced by pregnant cow. So it might be possible that low-fat dairy products have lower levels of estrogen and progesterone because most of the fat has been removed.

This suggests that low-fat dairy product may b e a better choice for women who’ve been diagnosed with bre*st cancer, especially hormone-receptor-positive bre*st cancer.

In this study, the researches wanted to know if eating full-fat dairy products increased the risk od bre*st cancer recurrence (the cancer coming back), as well as the risk od dying from bre*st cancer.

For this study, full-fat dairy products included:

  • Whole milk
  • Condensed or evaporated milk
  • Pudding
  • Ice-cream
  • Custard
  • Flan
  • Cheese
  • Yogurt

Butter The women were followed for about 12 years.The researchers found that who reported eating one or more serving per day of full-fat dairy products had a 64% higher risk of dying from any cause and a 49% higher risk of dying from bre*st cancer compared to women who ate fewer servings per day of full-fat dairy products or women who ate low-fat dairy products.

While the results of this study are troubling, it’s important to keep several things in mind.

While this study shows an association between full-fat dairy products and worse bre*st cancer outcomes, it doesn’t prove the first causes the second. Much more research is needed on the potential link between full-fat dairy products and bre*st cancer.

If you’ve been diagnosed with early-stage bre*st cancer, it makes sense to do everything you can to minimize your risk of recurrence and improve your chances of survival, including:

  • Eating a healthy diet that’s low in processed foods and sugar
  • Avoiding alcohol
  • Maintaining a healthy weight
  • Exercising daily
  • Not smoking

Staying on track with any medicines you’re taking to reduce the risk of recurrence.
