If your diet is dominated by cheese consumption, this article will likely make you sad. According to one study, eating too much cheddar cheese and cream cheese can increase the risk of breast cancer by 50%.
Let's examine this study together:
The study was conducted by the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in New York in 2017. For a full 11 years, three thousand women with and without the disease were examined, who detailed the amount of dairy products they consumed each month, including cheese, yogurt and milk. The study found that eating cheese increases the risk of breast cancer in women by 50%.
Milk contains a growth hormone called IGF-1 (insulin-like) and high amount of this hormone can promote cancer.
Harvard epidemiologist, Dr. Walter C. Willett, says: "Whatever the truth about disease, when it comes to cancer there is little evidence. Do fruits and vegetables strengthen the immune system? Are fatty foods the direct cause of cancer or that high fiber keeps disease at bay. These theses have been rejected several times", he concludes.
Cancer still remains one of the challenges of medicine, with the hope that one day a cure will be found.
