Could your milk mustache give you cancer? You can lead researchers to a conclusion, but I guess you cant make them think. One new study puts the finger on milk as a major cause of several types of deadly cancers -- only the researchers dont quite see it that way. The study finds that lactose intolerant folks have a lower risk of breast, ovarian, and lung cancers. Lactose intolerant people have one thing in common: They dont drink milk or eat dairy products. You see where this is going, right? Well, these researchers sure dont. Maybe theyre afraid of the powerful dairy industry, or maybe they really dont see whats right in front of them. Whatever the reason, they refuse to blame dairy for increasing the risk of cancer. Thats just ridiculous, because milk has been linked to these forms of cancer before as well as other cancers such as prostate cancer, and theres a pretty good reason for it. Cows milk does what it was designed to do for BABY COWS: it helps them to grow. Specifically, it does so by boosting levels of insulin-like growth factor-1, aka IGF-1. Youre not a calf, but milk will have that same effect on you. And excess IGF-1 in humans is known to promote cancers of the breast, lung and prostate, among others. The damage of a milk mustache doesnt end there. As I told you just last week, women who drink milk have a higher risk of broken bones -- and men and women who down moo juice are more likely to die early Milk has also been linked to diabetes, heart disease and more -- and these links continue to pop up consistently even in people who drink low-fat milk because they believe its healthier. Clearly, the only healthy milk is no milk at all. Now, the trick is giving it up. This is an adjustment for most people, but one thats a lot easier to make than it may seem. These days, youll find a wide range of milk substitutes that not only taste great, but also offer health benefits. Nut milks, hemp milk and coconut milk will all give your body healthy minerals and fats without the risks.
