Harvard School of Public Health distributed a press release on Apr. 4, 2000, "Higher Intake of Dairy Products May Be Linked to Prostate Cancer Risk," that described researchers' findings after tracking the Physicians' Health Study:

The researchers also found that men who drank more than six glasses of milk per week had lower levels of the potentially protective form of vitamin D than men who drank fewer than two glasses of milk per week.”
