Milk causes prostate cancer?

I don't know, it seems like lately they say anything you eat can kill you some way or another. When my daughter was little her doctor told me not to give her more than one glass of milk a day. He said that the cows eat grass that's had chemicals put on it, and that it comes out in trace amounts in their milk. He said it wasn't good for children to drink alot of milk because of the chemicals. I don't know if I ever really believed him, but he was a great doctor in every other way, so I took his advice. I guess if you really believe something could cause cancer, you could avoid it. I don't think a grown man would be hurt any by limiting his intake of dairy products, and if it helps his peace of mind, then it could be a good thing. Personally, I figure there are other things that we can't control (like genetics) that might cause cancer, so why worry.

i just couldn't understand, why there are some people trying to put negative points in one product or a thing, that we have been using and trusted to be safe for years? and if all things and products we had been using aren't safe for us, then time will come, we have left with nothing safe to eat, drink, use, and live under.

In my opinion milk is not healthy at all. Do you really trust milk producers? Maybe 2 tablespoons are OK, but even one glass is way too much. Not mentioned that milk doesn't have any benefits is drinking milk from non-organic farm. Adults should not drink milk at all.

It is my understanding that hormones are often given to cows so that they will give more milk. When we drink the milk from these cows we would naturally be drinking in some of the hormones that were given to them. An imbalance of male and female hormones can lead to prostate cancer is my understanding. (If you look for milk without these hormones please be careful what milk you buy, since not all "natural" milk is really natural as I understand it). I like to take several vitamin d pills myself everyday to help prevent cancer. I have had prostate cancer in the past and it is a bad experience.

Bah. I doubt the milk itself causes cancer. You MIGHT want to look up the various chemicals and hormones added though, and all that varies on the brand and company. One handy thing to know is, the more closeby your milk comes from...the odds of its safety go up. Our local brand here only adds hormones, but mostly the kind that's been in milk for years and no harm's come of it so far (I'd still rather 'em not be in there, but I love milk...so what can I do?). Besides, hormones rarely cause cancer, regardless of what they are. CHEMICLES, on the other hand, cause cancer all the time. Just know your brands, your companies, and know what you're eating and you should be fine.

Most of our dairy cows are given hormones to increase their milk production so this report is no surprise to me. Hubby and I have not used cow's milk for several years now.

hi magicalbubbles snopes those myths and you will see that its another myth meant to scare the socks off the gullible public who believe anything that is put on the web. next thing someone will come up with water makes you turn yellow and die of cancer, so do not drink water. how can intelligent people believe all these patently false myths, does not anyone ever check for the truth of a statement on the net?

From what I have read it all has to do with the lower levels of vitamin D. Throughout history milk has been a staple in most people's diets. I'm sure the fact that most men work inside instead of farming or working in the sun contributes to the lower levels of vitamin D so maybe milk is getting a bad rap on this one.
