Medicine Online, a medical and health news website, included an article on Aug. 5, 2005 titled "High Milk Intake May Boost Ovarian Cancer Risk," which stated:
“Three, large, well-designed studies in which dietary intake as assessed among cancer-free women who were followed up over time to see who developed ovarian cancer showed an increased risk of ovarian cancer among women with high intakes of milk and lactose…
If women took in a daily increase of 10 grams of lactose, about the amount in one glass of milk, their risk of ovarian cancer increased by 13 percent…
Exactly how the dairy foods may boost risk isn’t known, but lactose produces galactose and glucose, and galactose has been thought to increase the risk by direct toxicity to the ovarian germ cells.”
